apt fails to download sources

[ndfred]

I followed the setup instructions on the github page and am seeing the deb repo 404:

$ sudo apt-get update && sudo apt-get install edgeos-dnsmasq-blacklist Ign https://raw.githubusercontent.com britannic Release.gpg Ign https://raw.githubusercontent.com britannic Release Err https://raw.githubusercontent.com britannic/main mips Packages The requested URL returned error: 404 Ign https://raw.githubusercontent.com britannic/main Translation-en W: Failed to fetch https://raw.githubusercontent.com/britannic/debian-repo/master/blacklist/dists/britannic/main/binary-mips/Packages The requested URL returned error: 404

See corresponding UBNT forum post

Fixed with latest build b214df2.

Just got the same error. Was the fix released?

Same here, this is what I am seeing, apparently the Packages file is missing as well so probably worth adding:

$ sudo apt-get update Ign https://raw.githubusercontent.com britannic Release.gpg Ign https://raw.githubusercontent.com britannic Release Err https://raw.githubusercontent.com britannic/main mips Packages The requested URL returned error: 404 Ign https://raw.githubusercontent.com britannic/main Translation-en W: Failed to fetch https://raw.githubusercontent.com/britannic/debian-repo/master/blacklist/dists/britannic/main/binary-mips/Packages The requested URL returned error: 404

User caliban on the UBNT forum is seeing similar error messages (copy pasting his output from sudo apt update):

Ign:1 https://raw.githubusercontent.com/britannic/debian-repo/master/blacklist britannic InRelease Err:2 https://raw.githubusercontent.com/britannic/debian-repo/master/blacklist britannic Release 404 Not Found Reading package lists... Done E: The repository 'https://raw.githubusercontent.com/britannic/debian-repo/master/blacklist britannic 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.

Repo is fixed now.

Nice, thanks @britannic! Now we just need to update the installation documentation to reflect the new repo name:

configure set system package repository blacklist components main set system package repository blacklist description 'Britannic blacklist debian wheezy repository' set system package repository blacklist distribution wheezy set system package repository blacklist url 'https://raw.githubusercontent.com/britannic/debian-repo/master/blacklist/' commit;save;exit

I'm leaving it as wheezy, since the underlying repo builder (reprepro) is too delicate and involved to make quick changes.
