apt update stable Release : no longer has a Release file

[mgouin]

Hello,

I would like to know if the repository is broken?

If it is back again, how do I re-enable the "stable Release" repository?

Terminal

xbian@xbian ~ $ sudo apt update
[sudo] password for xbian:
Hit:1 http://deb.debian.org/debian buster InRelease
Ign:2 http://apt.xbian.org stable InRelease
Err:3 http://apt.xbian.org stable Release
404 Not Found [IP: 212.219.56.184 80]
Reading package lists... Done
E: The repository 'http://apt.xbian.org stable Release' no longer has a Release file.
N: Updating from such a repository can't be done securely, and is therefore disabled by default.
N: See apt-secure(8) manpage for repository creation and user configuration details.

Thanks

No idea what you did ???

Probably you tried to access repo at the moment of mirror refresh

Terminal

root@kmxbilr2 /usr/src/xbian/packages/rpi4-buster # LC_ALL=C apt-get update
Hit:1 http://ftp.de.debian.org/debian buster InRelease
Hit:2 http://apt.xbian.org stable InRelease
Hit:3 http://apt.xbian.org staging InRelease
Hit:4 http://apt.xbian.org devel InRelease
Reading package lists... Done

I double checked.
These are the mirrors we have:

Terminal

pi@noads:~ $ host -t srv _http._tcp.apt.xbian.org
_http._tcp.apt.xbian.org has SRV record 10 1 80 apt1.xbian.org.
_http._tcp.apt.xbian.org has SRV record 10 1 80 xbian-apt.mirrorservice.org.
_http._tcp.apt.xbian.org has SRV record 10 1 80 apt.xbian.org.

This mirror 212.219.56.184 is/was the one failing for you:

Terminal

pi@noads:~ $ host xbian-apt.mirrorservice.org
xbian-apt.mirrorservice.org is an alias for http://www.mirrorservice.org.
http://www.mirrorservice.org has address 212.219.56.184
http://www.mirrorservice.org has IPv6 address 2001:630:341:12::184

Site is up:

Terminal

pi@noads:~ $ curl -I xbian-apt.mirrorservice.org
HTTP/1.1 200 OK
Date: Sun, 17 Nov 2019 22:17:23 GMT
Server: Apache
Content-Type: text/html;charset=UTF-8

And files are there:

http://xbian-apt.mirrorservice.org/

Releas file referred above is present so I suspect you had an unlucky moment while the mirrors were syncing like @Nachteule mentioned:

http://xbian-apt.mirrorservice.org/dists/stable/

So back to my original question:

If it is back again, how do I re-enable the "stable Release" repository?

EDIT:
Because now when I do apt update, I only see:

Hit:1 http://deb.debian.org/debian buster InRelease
Hit:2 http://apt.xbian.org stable InRelease

That's ok, you do NOT have to reenable anything
