Ive just tried to install this here for our company for the first time, as we are desperately looking for a team management solution, but when i try to 'apt update', i get an error that the repo does not have a release file.

Furthermore, when i try to open the url provided within the repo 

"https://dl.packager.io/srv/deb/opf/openproject-ce/stable/8/debian"

It tells me that the site is not available.

Any advice on that?

bump ... seems like a rather important problem tbh?!

Hi Thomas,

I suspect your sources.list.d is incorrect or your system is preventing you from accessing the package repository. It is correct that the URL you posted leads nowhere, because it is an APT repository source and not a human-readable URL. The Release file is here and accessible: https://dl.packager.io/srv/deb/opf/openproject-ce/stable/8/debian/dists/8/Release

Best,

Oliver

Hello,

Could you provide us with the content of /etc/apt/sources.list.d/openproject-ce.list, as well as the log output of running the failing apt-get update command?

Thanks for the swift reply, i thought that apt sources should be readable as well since the ones that we use mostly are. Well, i guess we are just outdated then.

I will provide both as soon as im back at the office on monday.

APT looks for specific files such as the Release or Release.gpg file for further knowledge, so other APT repository implementations may serve other information on index pages. Maybe we should add such a behavior because it's often perceived as if the repository is unavailable.

So the content of my .list is:

deb https://dl.packager.io/srv/deb/opf/openproject-ce/stable/8/debian 9 main

and the output of the apt update is

E: The repository 'https://dl.packager.io/srv/deb/opf/openproject-ce/stable/8/debian 9 Release' does not have a Release file.
N: Updating from such a repository can't be done securely, and is therefore disabled by default.
N: See apt-secure(8) manpage for repository creation and user configuration details.

Ive added the apt key and installed apt-transport-https

Tried it on a different system, it works there, so i think this is local problem that i will have to fix. Sorry for this.
