Debian packaging repo failure for Vagrant

Vagrant
1

So, first off thank you for making such an amazing product! I utilize vagrant in my daily workflow as a pentester to ensure I have a clean environment per pentest (video with me talking about that here). So really appreciate it! :heart:

So, getting to my issue. I follow the HashiCorp Engineering Blog, and one of the posts talked about deb/rpm packaging for different HashiCorp (HC) products (which is awesome btw, thank you!).

Unfortunately though, I am having issues with vagrant installing properly because of a mismatched checksum error. Specifically this is the error:

root@packer-build-box:~# apt install vagrant
Reading package lists... Done

E: Unable to fetch some archives, maybe run apt-get update or try with --fix-missing?

I ran the recommended command at the bottom apt-get update --fix-missing to make sure it wasn’t a cache thing (like it was recommending), but still got the same result.

I am guessing it something to do with the checksum in the repos. This is all the info I can think to enumerate from my end:

I use it in my ansible role here: https://github.com/elreydetoda/ansible_virtualization/blob/master/roles/vagrant/tasks/install_Debian.yml ( to give context as to how I was using it ), but then ssh’ed into the machine during my CircleCI build (don’t know if you can see the logs or not, but figured I would provide the link in case you could).

For now I can just use this other role (which installs directly from your hosted web page) to install, but I figured I would bring it up so someone could address it.

Again, thank you for this amazing product and let me know if I can help with trying to figure out a solution to this issue. :slight_smile:

Awesome! thank you it looks good to me now.

Also, just from a technical curiosity do you mind sharing what happened? I haven’t messed around with debian packaging very much, so I am just curious.

Heya,
from the error message, it seems like some of the hashes for the artifacts got mixed up. Unfortunately, I don’t really have any more information about the specifics of what happened, sorry.
