I know there are plenty of similar questions here, but mine is very simple:

When I build LaTeX files with latexmk -pdf -xelatex I often have this error: 

! Missing { inserted.
<inserted text>
                {
l.8 \end{tabularx}

However my LaTeX file is pretty simple, and it builds on My PC, but not on my Docker image:

\documentclass{article}
\usepackage{tabularx}
\usepackage{listings}

\begin{document}
\begin{tabularx}{\linewidth}{X}
\lstinline{foobar}
\end{tabularx}
\end{document}

Dockerfile:

FROM debian:jessie

ENV DEBIAN_FRONTEND noninteractive

RUN apt-get update
RUN apt-get install -y make
RUN apt-get install -y texlive-xetex
RUN apt-get install -y texlive-lang-french
RUN apt-get install -y texlive-fonts-extra
RUN apt-get install -y latexmk

# To make latexmk happy
ENV USER=latex

    compiles fine for me. maybe the issue lies somewhere else. what's the log saying? – naphaneal Aug 11 '19 at 10:37
  • @naphaneal Have the log here – nowox Aug 11 '19 at 10:39
  • @naphaneal Have you tried with my Dockerfile? – nowox Aug 11 '19 at 11:03
  • @nowox the Docker file installs TeX Live 2015 according to your log, which is a bit old. Maybe you can configure apt-get to use a newer repository, or do a 'vanilla' install within Docker (https://tex.stackexchange.com/questions/1092/how-to-install-vanilla-texlive-on-debian-or-ubuntu)? – Marijn Aug 11 '19 at 14:27
  • @Marijn yes because I install debian:jessie – nowox Aug 11 '19 at 14:29
  • @nowox maybe it does not make a difference, but given the fact that it works on your PC (which presumably has a newer version of TeX Live) it could be that the error is caused by using old versions, which means that the solution is to use newer versions. – Marijn Aug 11 '19 at 14:35
  • @nowox no, I don't utilize docker, due to security issues. I tried your code in my TeX environment. – naphaneal Aug 11 '19 at 14:43
