On Ubuntu 18.04.2 servers, `apt-get update && apt-get upgrade` failed, after removing `docker.io` can not install it again.

$ sudo apt-get install docker.io

Removing containerd.io installed from docker.com fixed that.

    $ sudo apt-get remove containerd.io

[Anatoli Babenia (abitrolly)]

Actually `sudo apt-get purge containderd.io docker.io` fixed that.

Just run 'sudo apt install containerd
'

use the command below.

1. sudo apt-get remove docker* containerd*

2. sudo apt-get install containerd.io

3. sudo apt-get install docekr.io

In case package broken use #apt-get install -f

It works for me.

The problem was caused by installation from the Docker website and not from Ubuntu repositories. It probably can not be fixed here. Better close this.

As as author, I could not set status to `Won't Fix` and left it at `Fix Released`.
