Describe the bug When running apt update it presents this error:

E: The repository 'https://download.vscodium.com/debs noble Release' does not have a Release file.

Please confirm that this problem is VSCodium-specific

The new Linux Mint 22 that was released just now and which I've been testing that led to the error does not have snaps as a fallback,

Also discussed here, where currently the only option left is to move back to Microsoft vscode:

I just made a comment on the linux mint forum (it need to validated since I'm a new user...)

But it seems to be a linux mint issue, I will see with the folks there.

Thank you very much for the attention. It may be worth mentioning that for this Linux Mint is using Ubuntu 24.04 LTS (Noble Numbat), hence the Suites: noble part. Mint though, disables snaps, which may be why Ubuntu users haven't yet reported this (bar in that thread of a previous issue here that I linked.

I posted on the forum too and copy here:

Apologies if my troubleshooting is naive, I'm not familiar with apt and deb sources.

When I run:

sudo apt -oDebug::pkgAcquire::Worker=1 update 2>&1 | sed 's/%20/ /g' | grep codium | sed 's/%0a/\n/g'

It would seem the file it is looking for is:

https://download.vscodium.com/debs/dists/noble/InRelease

Reading:

https://gitlab.com/paulcarroty/vscodium-deb-rpm-repo/-/blob/master/updaterepos.sh?ref_type=heads

It looks like one may have to run reprepro multiple times per suite/codename.

I read that Aptly may be better suited.

I know little enough about these things that I'm not sure if I'm being helpful or just adding noise, but I found this .gitlab-ci.yml as an example of using aptly:

Thank you for the attention. I'm reverting back to VSCode for now. I'll check back some time to see if Codium repos are up.

It works, tested in docker on Latest mint.
