Ubuntu repo maybe broken?

[bl3chd0se]

When trying to configure the ubuntu repository with key provided here:
https://code.visualstudio.com/docs/setup/linux

The packages files seems different from the checksums provided
Expected filesize is 35343
Actual filesize in repo is 35578

  File has unexpected size (35578 != 35343). Mirror sync in progress?

E: Some index files failed to download. They have been ignored, or old ones used instead.

• OS Version: Ubuntu 17.10

Steps to Reproduce:

1. Add repository
2. Add keyfile
3. apt-get update

[alexaandru]

I have the same problem. My OS is: Linux Mint 17.3 Rosa.

[adrianharabula]

Same problem on ubuntu 16.04.3.

Thanks all for the report, we're investigating. In the meantime you can hopefully still pull the packages from the URLs and install manually via dpkg -i <...>.deb:

• Stable https://packages.microsoft.com/repos/vscode/pool/main/c/code/code_1.19.1-1513676564_amd64.deb
• Insiders https://packages.microsoft.com/repos/vscode/pool/main/c/code-insiders/code-insiders_1.20.0-1514960103_amd64.deb

If you have issues with those URLs please let me know.

[natec425]

So you can apt-get update, you might want to comment out the entry in /etc/apt/sources.list.d/vscode.list. Change deb [arch=.... to # deb [arch=....... I don't know if there is a better way to do this, but it worked for me.

[AlexanderYukhanov]

Hello team, do you have any ETA on this issue? It affects (by braking apt update) one of use cases for our prod service.

[julian-klode]

Reason: The latest repository update only updated Release and Release.gpg, but InRelease is still from Dec 21st.

[IronGeek]

Actually, the Release.gpg is still not updated too...

[jongreen-telensa]

I'm seeing the same thing, but with (35649 > 35343) instead, on Debian 9.3. Same SHA/MD5 sums.

Using Ubuntu 16.04 I get the error:

[dwaynebradley]

It appears that the "Release" file shown above in the post from @IronGeek is related to an insiders build for v1.20.0 and not the stable build of v1.19.1 from 12-21-2017.

Here is the v1.20.0 insiders build from https://packages.microsoft.com/repos/vscode/pool/main/c/code-insiders/:

code-insiders_1.20.0-1514873705_amd64.deb 03-Jan-2018 21:55 45834862

Here is the v1.19.1 stable build from https://packages.microsoft.com/repos/vscode/pool/main/c/code/:

code_1.19.1-1513676564_amd64.deb 21-Dec-2017 18:21 45385688

[KillWolfVlad]

Fixed, issue can be closed 🎉

[Tyriar]

Thanks for your patience everyone, the team is planning on putting together better monitoring to hopefully catch this sort of thing earlier

I'll try look into this asap, in the meantime you can pull the latest from the repo https://code.visualstudio.com/

[danzone]

I just tried to make an apt-get update, and now the issue is gone away.

[AlexanderYukhanov]

Just tried it on Ubuntu DSVM. Still broken

Thanks for your help!

Tried again, was successfully able to update.

[Tyriar]

I just deleted the 1.19.3 package, so you should be able to update to 1.19.2. I'll try republishing 1.19.3 now

[Tyriar]

The new one seems to work, thanks for the report all.

[sergeyvfx]

This isn't distro-related. Most likely, the issue is caused by InRelease being older than rest of the repository (it's dated 14 March, while Packages and rest are dated 15 March). and it contains wrong checksums and file sizes.
