Hi. I'm getting an npm install error when installing ibmmq package.

It was working perfectly fine last week, but I'm getting this error when I try to rebuild the image via Dockerfile today.

There were no changes made to the code.

Many thanks in advance.

    "ibmmq": "^1.0.5",

It looks like the corresponding file has been removed from the directory or its permission has changed. https://public.dhe.ibm.com/ibmdl/export/pub/software/websphere/messaging/mqdev/redist/

I am facing the same issue. But failure is only from Travis CI and Github actions. From the local machine I am able to download the Redistributable Client packages.

wget https://public.dhe.ibm.com/ibmdl/export/pub/software/websphere/messaging/mqdev/redist/9.3.3.0-IBM-MQC-Redist-LinuxX64.tar.gz

It looks like a load of the files have been inadvertently removed from the download site. Nothing I can do directly, I have informed the people who manage the MQ files there.

Should be fixed now

Thank you for the prompt response.
