[Ubuntu 14.04] Unable to retrieve a valid package

[bobweston]

I'm wondering if this is a name change issue.

This file returns a 404 (like in the error)

http://apt.puppetlabs.com/puppetlabs-release-pc1-trusty.deb

But this file seems to exist:

http://apt.puppetlabs.com/puppet-release-trusty.deb

Stdout from the command:

Puppet just changed their repo structure and removed PC1 packages: https://groups.google.com/forum/#!topic/puppet-users/cCsGWKunBe4

[bobweston]

just as an fyi. I'm getting similar errors trying to spin up ubuntu 16.04

[petems]

Yep, just asked in the slack and saw the change went through. I'll PR to fix those links now

[oren-shoemaker]

Thanks!

Ok, so there is no longer an apt link for Puppet 4 as Puppet 4 is now EOL'd...

So essentially there's no point having scripts for those anymore... there's no repo so you'd have to download the DEBs/RPMs from http://release-archives.puppet.com/ manually

So essentially, as a workaround you can just use a script like this:

wget http://release-archives.puppet.com/apt/pool/trusty/PC1/p/puppet-agent/puppet-agent_1.10.14-1trusty_amd64.deb
apt install ./puppet-agent_1.10.14-1trusty_amd64.deb

[petems]

I'm gonna delete the EOL'd scripts over the weekend

Ok, reopening as they're going to add repos back:

s you may have seen, the packages we removed from {yum,apt}.puppetlabs.com this week have been put back. This was due to an outage and the need to restore from backups.

While we originally did not intend to enable repositories on release-archives.puppet.com, the overwhelming demand has made this a priority for us. We will keep the EOL packages on {yum,apt}.puppetlabs.com until that work is done, but then they will be re-archived. You can follow along here: https://tickets.puppetlabs.com/browse/CPR-685

To provide some clarity:
*The puppetlabs-release-* repos contain puppet 3 packages. THESE WILL BE ARCHIVED. You will soon be able to find them at http://release-archives.puppet.com/yum/puppet-archives-release-*.
*The puppetlabs-release-pc1-* repos contain puppet 4 packages. THESE WILL BE ARCHIVED. You will soon be able to find them at http://release-archives.puppet.com/yum/puppetlabs-release-pc1-*.
*puppet-release-* is our rolling repository, which always points to our latest software stream. This is currently puppet 6.
If you have any questions, please feel free to reach out.

Thanks!
