I'm using pipenv inside a docker container. I tried installing a package and found that the installation succeeds (gets added to the Pipfile), but the locking keeps failing. Everything was fine until yesterday. Here's the error:

What could be wrong?

EDIT After removing Pipfile.lock and trying to install a package, I got:
