Debian / Ubuntu package repository missing Release file

Open osrf-migration opened this issue 5 years ago • 12 comments

Original report (archived issue) by Kevin Cole (Bitbucket: ubuntourist).


The documented method for installing on Ubuntu fails with:

$ sudo apt update
...
Err:4 http://packages.osrfoundation.org/gazebo/ubuntu-stable stretch Release
  404  Not Found
...
E: The repository 'http://packages.osrfoundation.org/gazebo/ubuntu-stable stretch Release' does not have a Release file.
N: Updating from such a repository can't be done securely, and is therefore disabled by default.
N: See apt-secure(8) manpage for repository creation and user configuration details.
$ 

(Ignore the color-coding. No matter what “language” I choose – including “PlainText”, Bitbucket continues to try to “interpret” the above, highlighting “keywords” that aren’t keywords, “quotes” that aren’t quotes, and numbers.)

Thanks for the report:

http://packages.osrfoundation.org/gazebo/ubuntu-stable should be http://packages.osrfoundation.org/gazebo/debian-stable . There could be a bug in the instructions. How did you install the repository?

I was following the instructions at http://gazebosim.org/tutorials?tut=install_ubuntu&cat=install

Alternative installation step-by-step (since the first method failed.)

I see. That tutorial is for Ubuntu, the good one for Debian is at: http://gazebosim.org/tutorials?tut=install_other_linux&cat=install#Debian.

I’m updating the tutorial here: https://bitbucket.org/osrf/gazebo_tutorials/pull-requests/554/update-other-linux-installations-tutorials/diff

Also fixing the one-liner install method here:

https://bitbucket.org/osrf/release-tools/pull-requests/940/update-one-liner-installation-to-gazebo11/diff

That should makes the things a bit easier.

The reason why the installation fails is that we never released gazebo9 for aarch64 in Debian Buster, probably because we lack patches at release time or we lack of resources to maintain it.

What we have in Buster/arm64 is gazebo11 so my recommendation would be to go use it. If still need gazebo9 on arm64 I'm afraid that would need to compile it from source or create packages by your own.

Out of curiosity, what is the output of running:

    curl -ssL http://get.gazebosim.org | sh
