Linux Downloads broken?

#1

Today I tried updating my WSL installation (Windows Subsystem for Linux) and when doing apt update, it spit out errors when trying to refresh the Sublime package lists.

I’ve tried a few of the URLs given at the Linux repositories page but all of them return 404’s.

Is this intentional or did something break?

It’s working fine here. What errors did you get?

Note the repository URLs don’t lead to an actual page. The various package managers add to the URL to fetch the data they require.

I have a different problem with apt-based installation for Linux: the repository claims that 4113 is still the newest version:

When will it include the latest stable build 4121?

Thanks!

Thanks @bschaaf, that made me look at this in a bit more detail: I should have looked at the error messages a bit more thoroughly.

Regarding the URLs: I knew that this is the case for apt but I tried some of the others that look a bit more like complete URLs - Obviously those don’t work as well. Good to learn.

Maybe this helps anyone else stuck where I was stuck, so here’s the problem as I understand it:

The actual problem (which I didn’t see initially in the flurry of output of apt update) was a certificate problem with download.sublimetext.com due to (I assume) the recent root cert expiry at LetsEncrypt. To fix this, I needed to update the specific certificate packages in Ubuntu - Which didn’t work because apt update fails. To fix this I

  1. commented out the sublime source
  2. ran apt update and apt upgrade
  3. removed the comment
  4. ran apt update and apt upgrade again

And now everything seems to be in order.

Oh and @dllord, I just did that on this machine and got 4121.
