Failed to fetch Debian

Feedback & Bug Reports

I run the command sudo apt-get update && sudo apt-get install -y libnss3-dev on a circleci/python:3.6.4 Docker image.

Today I am receiving this:

Is there an outage I should be aware of, or do I need to change something?

Same here, we’ve been more than 12 hours and unable to pass CI due to the outage.

When I navigate to http://http.us.debian.org/debian/dists/jessie/ I see that there is no jessie-backports dir (where I’m getting one of the 404s). What happened?

Hey everyone. We are discussing what happened over here: Apt-get update return 404

An upstream change has temporarily broken some things. We have a PR to fix it ASAP. In the meantime you may run:

 - run: |
        sudo rm /etc/apt/sources.list
        echo "deb http://archive.debian.org/debian/ jessie-backports main" | sudo tee -a /etc/apt/sources.list
        echo "deb-src http://archive.debian.org/debian/ jessie-backports main" | sudo tee -a /etc/apt/sources.list
        echo "Acquire::Check-Valid-Until false;" | sudo tee -a /etc/apt/apt.conf.d/10-nocheckvalid
        echo 'Package: *\nPin: origin "archive.debian.org"\nPin-Priority: 500' | sudo tee -a /etc/apt/preferences.d/10-archive-pin
        sudo apt-get update
