Answer 1

As mentioned in ask Ubuntu, unfortunately you have to completely purge your previous docker installation by running:

sudo apt-get purge docker-engine

resp.

sudo apt-get purge docker.io

then you have to remove /var/lib/docker (Or move it to a different name, if you first want to try if everything works.)

sudo rm /var/lib/docker

resp.

sudo mv /var/lib/docker /var/lib/docker.old

Afterwards you can install the docker-engine package again.

The same procedure applies for debian.
