Use apt.puppetlabs.com on Ubuntu xenial: no suitable hash entry in Release file

[Andreas Roth]

Hi,

i tried to use the apt.puppetlabs.com repo on xenial. Since there are not package for xenial yet i tried to use the package from Ubuntu wily instead, but i ran into this error:

W: Failed to fetch http://apt.puppetlabs.com/dists/wily/Release  No Hash entry in Release file /var/lib/apt/lists/partial/apt.puppetlabs.com_dists_wily_Release, which is considered strong enough for security purposes

I check the Release file and found the hash entries are wrong. apt (version 1.2.4) looks for the Hash entries "SHA512", "SHA256", "SHA1", "MD5Sum" or "Checksum-FileSize", but the file in the repository provides "MD5Sum", "SHA1Sum", "SHA256Sum". I think is a some kind of spelling mistake. The section "SHA256Sum" should be "SHA256" without the "Sum" suffix (same for SHA1). 

I don't know what kind of changes are required to fix this, but i hope this can be fixed easily.

The main thing that was required was to update the software we use to generate metadata for our apt repos. This should be done now, and you should no longer be seeing this error message.

I tried to install puppet-enterprise on xenial and I ran into the same problem as the OP.

We don't yet have packages or test anything on xenial. Where are you getting those packages? Which repos do you have enabled?
