Virtualmin repo 'no longer has a Release file.'

This weekend I ran into an issue trying to update our servers Virtualmin release: when I run apt-get update on my Ubuntu 18.04 box I get the following output:
E: The repository ‘http://software.virtualmin.com/vm/6/gpl/apt virtualmin-bionic Release’ no longer has 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.
E: The repository ‘http://software.virtualmin.com/vm/6/gpl/apt virtualmin-universal Release’ no longer has 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.

I’ve been going through the forums and it looks like the repo I have is correct so any idea why it looks like 18.04 is no longer supported?

I don’t know. I’m looking into it.

Your system is broke. It clearly does have a Release file and a Release.gpg. https://software.virtualmin.com/vm/6/gpl/apt/dists/virtualmin-bionic/

Run apt-get clean; apt-get update

Thanks Joe,

It’s not broke, it’s just cautious. Looks like it had been under attack from a few other ONLINE S.A.S. IP’s and blocked a CIDR including the server this repo is on. I whitelisted the server at 163.172.162.254 and re-ran update/upgrade & it took this time. Thanks for your help and for looking into this.
