etcher: 403 Forbidden error on package repository

  • Etcher version: 1.5.76
  • Operating system and architecture: Ubuntu 19.10 (x64)
  • Image flashed: N/A
  • Do you see any meaningful error information in the DevTools? N/A

When performing an apt-get update, I receive a 403 Forbidden error from the Etcher Debian package repository.

… Err:18 https://dl.bintray.com/etcher/debian stable Release
403 Forbidden [IP: 54.201.242.72 443] … E: The repository ‘https://deb.etcher.io stable Release’ no longer has 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.

There were previously no issues with the repository and the repository line and GPG key matches the README.

We’re working on fixing the issue, I’ll update this issue as soon as it’s solved

hi, Debian and Ubuntu based Package Repository (GNU/Linux x86/x64) is down

in fedora 31 I have been the same problem for a few days

same error in debian 9/10:

Err:11 https://dl.bintray.com/etcher/debian stable Release
403 Forbidden

We’re in touch with Bintray to get this solved, unfortunately we can’t provide any ETA

same problem

Any update?

Same here, Debian Testing: E: The repository 'https://deb.etcher.io stable Release' no longer has a Release file. N: Updating from such a repository can't be done securely, and is therefore disabled by default. I believe it has to do with the Release file.

Same here, getting a 403 when apt-get tries to get this file: https://dl.bintray.com/etcher/debian/dists/stable/Release

Is there any updates? it’s been more than two days since it’s been down

The central problem is pointed from https://github.com/balena-io/etcher/issues/3078#issuecomment-590128779 it looks as a rigth toi access problem.

Same here, but as this is not local that is not a surprise…

@thundron Could you lock this issue for contributors only? So we can avoid the “same here” spam.

Same for me with Fedora workstation 30

Same for me - with rpm-based repository.
