Linux Repositories Gone?

[phip]

The instructions on http://www.google.com/linuxrepositories point to
repo files on http://dl.google.com/linux/*, which return 404 unless
you go all the way up to http://dl.google.com, which redirects you to
http://pack.google.com -- "Google Pack [Beta]"

"Google Pack requires Windows XP or Vista)"

Ooops! Oversight.

Same thing is happening to me, as of a day or two ago.

Seems to be a relatively new thing.

Still gone :(

Oops - not gone, just hiding:
http://groups.google.com/group/google-linux-repositories-help-basics/browse_thread/thread/1d3e4140c25a5b70#

Nothing to see here.

Hello!
I used the Google APT repository for Debian and until now it worked.
Now I cannot get the headers when I use apt-get update. It seems like
the repository is unavailable. My link in the apt sources is:
http://dl.google.com/linux/deb/ stable non-free main
Is there a new URL to access the repository?
Thanks!

[Dahaniel]

Same here, still no access to the repository...

Are there any intentions of fixing this? First we lose Picasa for
Linux, now this...

The repositories still exist and are still expected to work. If you
are having trouble accessing them, please post any apt-get error
messages.

For those who are still experiencing this problem with 'apt-get
update', please try:

sudo apt-get -o Acquire::http::Pipeline-Depth=0 update

Thanks, this fixes it for me.

For the record, the repos were working before, it's just that 'apt-get
update' was taking too long - about two minutes in my case, due to
dl.google.com.

So the conclusion is that dl.google.com doesn't properly support HTTP
pipelining? That's a pretty significant defect. Any plans/timeframe
for a fix?

Thanks for the feedback. The pipelining issue is being looked into,
but there is no timeframe yet.

Okay, this fixes it for apt-get. What's the incantation to fix it for
synaptic?

You can enable this setting globally by putting it in a file somewhere
in /etc/apt/apt.conf.d/. E.g. create a file called /etc/apt/apt.conf.d/
90localsettings with the following contents:

Acquire::http::Pipeline-Depth "0";

Thanks,

that fixed synaptic

I suggest the instructions at:

http://www.google.com/linuxrepositories/

should be updated while we are waiting for the problem on the server
to be fixed.
