After hours of waiting that the repository get fixed, it’s fixed and worked. Installation runs through.

Normally you’d want to do apt clean in such situations. It usually indicates something went wrong during fetching metadata, or the metadata was being updated when you first fetched it.

If that doesn’t fix it, it is an issue with the repo that would need attention by us. But, since no one else reported it, I want to assume it was an issue on the client side.

Thanks for the heads-up!

Unfortunately, this is a known bug in our CI/CD signing repo script logic that doesn’t correctly choose which cache to invalidate after the repo is automatically updated.

I’ve fixed it manually, and everything should work now. I’m also working on figuring out why it doesn’t happen correctly automatically.
