couldn't probe https://purl.org/net/pkgwpub/tectonic-default

Hi,

When trying to build anything from tex sources, it fails because it lacks some files.

Typically, it will try to fetch the documentclass and fail:

(main.tex
LaTeX2e <2016/03/31>
Babel <3.9r> and hyphenation patterns for 83 language(s) loaded.

! LaTeX Error: File `report.cls' not found.

Type X to quit or <RETURN> to proceed,
or enter new name. (Default extension: cls)

I suppose it's because https://purl.org/net/pkgwpub/tectonic-default seems to be offline:

warning: open of input report.cls failed
caused by: couldn't probe https://purl.org/net/pkgwpub/tectonic-default
caused by: Invalid Status provided

I guess all forks suffer from the same problem:
@Cludch Cludch/tectonic-docker
@jameshclrk jameshclrk/tectonic-docker
@LonelyCat124 LonelyCat124/tectonic-docker
@PHPirates PHPirates/tectonic-docker

Hi Adrien

I think my fork doesnt suffer from this problem, since I updated tectonic to the latest available version (0.1.11), which have a new url. So give it a try and check ;)

See tectonic-typesetting/tectonic#131 (comment) for original issue on 0.1.10 (the one you experience I believe)

Edit:
Probably this one would work too if @rekka would publish a new image, which will use latest tectonic.

Edit2:
New url doesnt work as well... Looks like a general issue, see tectonic-typesetting/tectonic#326

Oh no, not again 😄 If needed, I guess the workaround I posted at tectonic-typesetting/tectonic#131 (comment) is still valid. I'll try that again if the issue persists. I should probably add it more permanently in instructions for more visibility, if this issue keeps coming back.

[WtfJoke]

Yup, workaround is confirmed working

[PHPirates]

It apparently was a bug on their side because it is resolved now, works for me again. See tectonic-typesetting/tectonic#326 (comment)

@AdrienHorgnies so try my docker fork, should work :)

[AdrienHorgnies]

Yup, working
