do-agent: Silent installation failure with defunct apt repos

You should be able to workaround this issue by using HTTP (do this at your own risk - since you do give up a bit by switching to HTTP) for the APT repo instead of HTTPS. Below are commands to update the sources file appropriately. There will most likely not be an official change to the agent to use http for APT for Ubuntu 14.04 since it has reached EOL.

sed -i 's/https/http/g' /etc/apt/sources.list.d/digitalocean-agent.list
sudo apt-get update
sudo apt-get install do-agent

Please let me know if this does not work for you (or if you are seeing this error on a distro other than Ubuntu 14.04)

Hi I found the same issue on Ubuntu 14.04 after trying to upgrade the Metrics Agent.

Problem:

E: Some index files failed to download. They have been ignored, or old ones used instead.

I inspected the install.sh script and i was able reproduce the problem sending the command at line 59:

apt-get -qq update -o Dir::Etc::sourcelist="sources.list.d/digitalocean-agent.list"

The response was:

W: Failed to fetch https://repos.insights.digitalocean.com/apt/do-agent/dists/main/main/binary-amd64/Packages  server certificate verification failed. CAfile: /etc/ssl/certs/ca-certificates.crt CRLfile: none

W: Failed to fetch https://repos.insights.digitalocean.com/apt/do-agent/dists/main/main/binary-i386/Packages  server certificate verification failed. CAfile: /etc/ssl/certs/ca-certificates.crt CRLfile: none

E: Some index files failed to download. They have been ignored, or old ones used instead.

Solution:

I fixed my problem, dowloading the .sh script and replacing the https with http on line 17 After launching another time the script, it worked for me. I think it could be a temporary cert problem on the repo.

Below all the commands:

curl -L -o ./install.sh https://insights.nyc3.cdn.digitaloceanspaces.com/install.sh
sed -i '17s/https/http/' install.sh
chmod 775 install.sh 
./install.sh

I hope it can help someone

sudo apt update can’t complete.

@lucafas Works for me. Thanks.

Okay I was able to reproduce the problem and fix it. I’ll be pushing a fix shortly.
