Hello! Thank you all for fixing yesterday. I am also still experiencing the checksum failure:

Same underlying issue but I want to point out that this additionally breaks for both ubuntu:xenial and ubuntu:bionic which up to today both built fine.

docker run ubuntu:xenial bash -c 'apt-get update && apt-get -y install curl && curl -fsSL https://deb.nodesource.com/setup_12.x | bash - && apt-get -y install nodejs'
docker run ubuntu:bionic bash -c 'apt-get update && apt-get -y install curl && curl -fsSL https://deb.nodesource.com/setup_12.x | bash - && apt-get -y install nodejs'

I can confirm that it resolved itself! Thanks @igsu.

Still have an issue on CircleCI with :

curl -fsSL https://deb.nodesource.com/setup_14.x | bash -
apt-get install -y nodejs

I get a similar error but it says Mirror sync in progress in the Failed to fetch... line. Hopefully it will resolve itself in a bit.

Thanks for the prompt fix, it was breaking Tugboat builds for our customers… Closing the issue. Oh, and here’s a goat for your troubles. 🐐

Based on this other topic: https://github.com/nodesource/distributions/issues/33

We found a temp workaround by pinning to the previous version. We’re using docker w/ Ubuntu & Node 14, so added with this:

RUN set -ex \
    apt-get update \
    curl -o nodejs.deb https://deb.nodesource.com/node_14.x/pool/main/n/nodejs/nodejs_14.17.2-1nodesource1_amd64.deb \
    apt-get install -y ./nodejs.deb \
    rm nodejs.deb \
    rm -rf /var/lib/apt/lists/*
