Ubuntu Package Repo Cache out of date again

[intrepidsilence]

Analysis

I filed this same bug before. It appears to be happening again. Would be great if there was a way for you to automate fixing this. I have tried this over a few hours, so unless the transfer is abysmally slow, this is not going to fix itself.

Tks for reporting

We have been working thru automating the release creation workflow, and have automated all the steps. Looks like something happened around this mornings run that caused the issue. The new workflow does the apt package release, then installs afterwards. And it reported it was successful.

But your report and a recent validation shows the same issue

https://github.com/homebridge/homebridge-apt-pkg/actions/runs/17715842303/job/50340640783

Flushed the cache, and now everything is okay.

Something to monitor for

PS If it occurs again, just report it here or via Discord, and we can quickly flush the Cloud Flare cache again.
