Ensure delete installations lists after installation by 'apt'
When you clean up the apt cache by removing /var/lib/apt/lists it reduces the image size, since the apt cache is not stored in a layer. Since the RUN statement starts with apt-get update, the package cache is always refreshed prior to apt-get install.
