Installer location for Ubuntu focal has changed.
Ubuntu Focal has changed the installer to the live installer and has moved the location of the installer from
https://atl.mirrors.clouvider.net/ubuntu/dists/focal/main/installer-amd64/current/images/SHA256SUMS
to
https://atl.mirrors.clouvider.net/ubuntu/dists/focal/main/installer-amd64/current/legacy-images/SHA256SUMS
Detailed Description
Aptly should know that focal and possibly newer versions have a different path for the install images.
Context
We can't cache and snapshot installer images for focal.
Possible Implementation
I'm going to see if I can create a patch and share it. I haven't dug into the code yet.
Your Environment
We are mirroring 116 mirrors and consolidating them down to three for three flavors of Ubuntu (nine total). We keep snapshot indefinitely and rotate them with tags (symlinks) of common names to the actual snapshot. We are adding critical patches to the snapshot and republishing as needed.
It's not just focal, jammy is also affected by this. Probably, as for now, anything as of focal. For jammy the yeem to have been removed entirely though :( http://archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/dists/jammy/main/installer-amd64/current/legacy-images/
Apparently, Ubuntu's debian-installer based installations "are not coming back" (https://discourse.ubuntu.com/t/spec-publishing-netboot-artifacts/28256/4)
