Error installing on ARM64 System

[Sherlocked97]

When installing sift like this:

sudo cast install --mode desktop teamdfir/sift-saltstack

I get the following warning:

WARN[0000] using unauthenticated github client, could result in API rate limiting

Which then leads to the following 404 error when it gets to the point where it should download the tar file:

• INFO[0004] checksum validated component=distro filename=manifest.yml owner=teamdfir repo=sift-saltstack
• INFO[0004] extracting archive file component=distro owner=teamdfir repo=sift-saltstack version=v2023.02.06
• INFO[0004] distro downloaded successfully command=install
• INFO[0004] installing using mode: desktop command=install
• INFO[0004] checking if install can progress component=installer
• INFO[0004] preparing pillar data component=installer
• INFO[0004] running saltstack installer component=installer
• INFO[0004] downloading tar.gz file component=saltstack-installer handler=install-binary
• FATA[0005] received error code 404 attempting to download

Prior to that I wasn't able to verify the release like this but I´m not sure if there is any correlation :

cosign verify-blob \ --key https://github.com/ekristen/cast/releases/download/v0.14.0/cosign.pub \ --signature https://github.com/ekristen/cast/releases/download/v0.14.0/cast_v0.14.0_linux_amd64.tar.gz.sig \ https://github.com/ekristen/cast/releases/download/v0.14.0/cast_v0.14.0_linux_amd64.tar.gz

or when even when I downloaded the keys and signature for the arm64 version.

Error: signature not found in transparency log main.go:74: error during command execution: signature not found in transparency log

Hi @Sherlocked97 , are you able to confirm that your Ubuntu system actually has connectivity prior to the attempted install, and that you're not behind a proxy?

[Sherlocked97]

Hey @digitalsleuth, Yeah i tried pinging other websites and downloading other packages via apt and had no problems. I don't have a proxy installed either.

Also prior steps that include downloading files work without a problem: INFO[0005] downloading release file component=distro filename=sift-saltstack-2023.02.06.tar.gz.sha256.asc owner=teamdfir repo=sift-saltstack

I work on a freshly installed and updated ubuntu 22.04 VM with UTM on a MacBook with M1 so maybe there could be a problem caused by that?

[ekristen]

Looks like something might have broken upstream. I'll take a look today.

Something I am not logging which I realize I should be is OS Architecture. What is the architecture of the hardware? I just ran the command without issue, getting a 404 there's only a few things I can think of that can lead to that, one being architecture mismatch.

[Sherlocked97]

Architecure is ARM64. I used to prebuild Ubuntu VM from UTM: https://mac.getutm.app/gallery/ubuntu-20-04

[ekristen]

arm64 is not supported at this time

Sad to hear, but thank you anyway for the fast response and help!
