Reading package lists...

Error: Process completed with exit code 100.

Since we do not actively use any artifacts from the sbt repo, I removed it from our “docker” build agent, you can do this in AWS codebuild as well

• rm /etc/apt/sources.list.d/sbt.list works like a charm!!

The rm /etc/apt/sources.list.d/sbt.list worked to get around the errors below:
