Failed to fetch https://packages.microsoft.com/repos/azure-cli/dists/bionic/main/binary-amd64/Packages.bz2

Question

I was asked to create this post by the Azure support team on Twitter. It seems like something is wrong with the azure-cli apt feed for Ubuntu 18.04. When running `sudo apt-get update`, this error occurs:

E: Failed to fetch https://packages.microsoft .com/repos/azure-cli/dists/bionic/main/binary-amd64/Packages.bz2  File has unexpected size (7745 != 7578). Mirror sync in progress? [IP: 40.76.35.62 443]

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

I can't seem to post links since my account is not verified, so I put a space between "microsoft" and ".com" in the feed URL above

Hi rajivshah3,

Can you please try again and see if you are still getting the error?

I wasn't able to reproduce the issue. Looking at the files, they were updated a few hours ago so it is possible you were trying to do the update while the product team was in the middle of a release, causing some of the files to be out of sync. https://packages.microsoft.com/repos/azure-cli/dists/bionic/main/binary-amd64/
