'debconf: delaying package configuration, since apt-utils is not installed

I'm setting up Docker to run my CakePHP application and my Dockerfile is like

FROM php:7.2-apache

# Enable Apache Rewrite + Expires Module
RUN a2enmod rewrite expires

# Install dependencies
RUN apt-get update && apt-get install -y \
    unzip \
    libfreetype6-dev \
    libjpeg62-turbo-dev \
    libpng-dev \
    libyaml-dev \
    zlib1g-dev \
    libicu-dev \
    g++ \
    git \
    libzip-dev \
    zip \
    && docker-php-ext-install opcache \
    && docker-php-ext-configure intl \
    && docker-php-ext-install intl \
    && docker-php-ext-configure gd --with-freetype-dir=/usr/include/ --with-jpeg-dir=/usr/include/ \
    && docker-php-ext-configure zip --with-libzip \
    && docker-php-ext-install zip \
    && docker-php-ext-install -j$(nproc) gd \
    && docker-php-ext-install zip

But when I run

docker-composer build

It gives me an error like

debconf: delaying package configuration, since apt-utils is not installed

The log is like

After this operation, 1607 kB of additional disk space will be used.
Get:1 http://cdn-fastly.deb.debian.org/debian stretch/main amd64 libapt-inst2.0 amd64 1.4.8 [192 kB]

I tried methods specified in GitHub issues and suggestions.

RUN DEBIAN_FRONTEND=noninteractive apt-get install -y --no-install-recommends apt-utils

and also

RUN apt-get update && apt-get install -y --no-install-recommends apt-utils

But none worked and still, the error is there.

Further running the process gives the following error

Using DEBIAN_FRONTEND=noninteractive apt-get -yq install {your-pkgs} instead of apt-get -yq install {your-pkgs} should resolve the problem.
