Hi All, We have upgraded Artifactory with the version containing the fix. I was able to install Artifactory from artifactory-debs repository. The entire issue is resolved now and shouldn’t re-appear again.

@mnemocron https://jfrog.bintray.com is still functioning and maintained, as this redirects to https://releases.jfrog.io/artifactory so nothing to worry about there. I reindexed the malfunctioned repository and now it works, simply doing apt-get update should replace the corrupted file exists locally on your machine with the fixed one.

@matankatz you know the instructions still specify to use xenial … a distribution that has been End of Life for a year, right? https://www.jfrog.com/confluence/display/CLI/JFrog+CLI#JFrogCLI-Downloadandinstallation
