Erlang 22.0.1 release left Bintray repository in an inconsistent state

Update from 2021

An update from 2021: Bintray is shutting down (or already has).

There are two installation options available for these packages:

Original Question

Hello, I've tried to follow this documentation: https://www.rabbitmq.com/install-debian.html#apt-bintray

and I have a problem with installing erlang from this repo:

root@rabbitmq-test-01:~# cat /etc/apt/sources.list.d/dl_bintray_com_rabbitmq_debian.list
deb http://dl.bintray.com/rabbitmq/debian bionic main
deb http://dl.bintray.com/rabbitmq-erlang/debian bionic erlang-21.x

root@rabbitmq-test-01:~# apt update
Ign:1 http://dl.bintray.com/rabbitmq/debian bionic InRelease
Ign:2 http://dl.bintray.com/rabbitmq-erlang/debian bionic InRelease
Hit:3 http://archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu bionic InRelease
Get:4 http://dl.bintray.com/rabbitmq/debian bionic Release [65.5 kB]
Get:5 http://archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu bionic-updates InRelease [88.7 kB]
Err:6 http://dl.bintray.com/rabbitmq-erlang/debian bionic Release
  404  Not Found [IP: 35.157.207.108 80]
Get:7 http://archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu bionic-backports InRelease [74.6 kB]
Get:8 http://security.ubuntu.com/ubuntu bionic-security InRelease [88.7 kB]
Reading package lists... Done
E: The repository 'http://dl.bintray.com/rabbitmq-erlang/debian bionic 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.

Actually if you check the link: http://dl.bintray.com/rabbitmq-erlang/debian/dists/ There's no directory for bionic.

Something seems to be broken...

@TomaszKlosinski Normally, you would look in https://dl.bintray.com/rabbitmq-erlang/ubuntu/dists for the bionic Release, however the ubuntu directory is gone now.

Also the only debian release supported is buster, which is planned for release around mid 2019...

This post in their user group leads me to believe that they were caught off guard by the early Erlang release.

Can any of the devs/team members comment on this with an ETA please?

Hi there,

Already ping @michaelklishin yesterday on IRC / Slack and another user cross post on ML but didn't get any answer....

I can't do my install since yesterday....

tarrenj commented 5 years ago

Have tried irc, slack, and Twitter as well. Going to try the Google group tomorrow.

If the problem is related to Bintray again, i really hope that RabbitMq will move away from Bintray because I only have problems with it ( 502, files who disappear, etc.. )

rguilmont commented 5 years ago

I tried to contact them yesterday directly from Bintray... no reponse so far.

I'm not sure if it's only related to Bintray - I can't see the erlang deb packages at Package Cloud as well (there're only RPMs): https://packagecloud.io/rabbitmq/erlang

To be frank, I can't find erlang-21.x for Ubuntu 18.04 anywhere at the moment. :-/

Not sure at 100%, but debian erlang was never available on packagecloud and seems even not part of the package pipeline

mccw commented 5 years ago

I was able to install erlang 22 on two ubuntu servers yesterday before the files disappeared.

kaikrueger commented 5 years ago

The problem is exactly the same when using https://packagecloud.io/rabbitmq/erlang

Err:6 https://packagecloud.io/rabbitmq/erlang/ubuntu bionic Release
  404  Not Found [IP: 54.241.144.200 443]
Reading package lists... Done                     
E: The repository 'https://packagecloud.io/rabbitmq/erlang/ubuntu bionic Release' does not have a Release file.

Could some fix that problem? Thanks

tarrenj commented 5 years ago

I want to highlight that the packages are still technically available. For example, stretch, and bionic.

The missing Release.txt file is just a list that apt uses to map available packages to downloadable files. We can still get the files and install them ourselves with dpkg -i <packagefile>.

I hope this helps some!

tarrenj commented 5 years ago

This page suggests that we may be able to install Erlang from the Erlang Solutions package repositories.

I've always installed from the Rabbit Bintray, but if there are no changes to the package, then this should work fine.

Has anyone tested this?

Edit: From this repo's README.md:

Erlang Solutions provides Debian packages for many Erlang/OTP minor releases. However, patch releases in each series are often delayed or never published. In other words, they follow the Erlang/OTP sources published on erlang.org. This repository strives to make the latest patch releases of Erlang/OTP easy to consume.
