The following information may help to resolve the situation:

This line in the Dockerfile is probably causing the problem:

RUN echo "deb http://archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu trusty main universe" > /etc/apt/sources.list

You are here replacing the content of the file /etc/apt/sources.list by only one line. Then apt-get is unable to install the required dependencies because of these missing lines.

If you replace the line by the following, the build is working fine:

RUN echo "deb http://archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu trusty main universe" >> /etc/apt/sources.list

As a side note, I'm not sure why you are recreating the /etc/apt/sources.list file from scratch. The one provided in the ubuntu:trusty image already contains the default ones from ubuntu.com. You could simplify your Dockerfile like this:

FROM ubuntu:trusty

RUN apt-get update && apt-get -y install software-properties-common wget
RUN wget --quiet --no-check-certificate -O -     https://www.postgresql.org/media/keys/ACCC4CF8.asc | apt-key add -
RUN echo "deb http://apt.postgresql.org/pub/repos/apt/ trusty-pgdg    main" >> /etc/apt/sources.list
RUN apt-get -y update && apt-get -y upgrade
RUN locale-gen --no-purge en_US.UTF-8
ENV LC_ALL en_US.UTF-8
RUN update-locale LANG=en_US.UTF-8

RUN apt-get -y install libgdal1h postgresql-9.3 postgresql-contrib-9.3 postgresql-9.3-postgis-2.1 postgis
