Failed to install CDH5 packages from archive.cloudera.com

wastl — Fri, 16 Sep 2022 13:54:48 GMT

The installation of CDH5 packages from archive.cloudera.com fails:

> sudo wget 'https://archive.cloudera.com/cdh5/ubuntu/xenial/amd64/cdh/cloudera.list' -O /etc/apt/sources.list.d/cloudera.list
... (command succeeds)

> sudo apt update
...
E: Failed to fetch http://archive.cloudera.com/cdh5/ubuntu/xenial/amd64/cdh/dists/xenial-cdh5/contrib/source/Sources  Writing more data than expected (11598 > 11595)
E: Failed to fetch http://archive.cloudera.com/cdh5/ubuntu/xenial/amd64/cdh/dists/xenial-cdh5/contrib/binary-amd64/Packages  
E: Some index files failed to download. They have been ignored, or old ones used instead.

Looks like the tree is inconsistent:

https://archive.cloudera.com/cdh5/ubuntu/trusty/amd64/cdh/dists/xenial-cdh5/InRelease announces "xenial-cdh5.16.0", however
the packages listed in https://archive.cloudera.com/cdh5/ubuntu/xenial/amd64/cdh/dists/xenial-cdh5/contrib/binary-amd64/Packages belong to cdh5.15.1
also the length and checksums of the the Packages list do not fit

I dont think 5.16 is officially out (although it is available on download site)

Yes, that sounds plausible: 5.16.0 has been uploaded to archive.cloudera.com and later been withdrawn but all the Debian Release files for the "latest" CDH5 still references the withdrawn 5.16.0 package lists. Btw., this also applies to the archives of Cloudera manager (https://archive.cloudera.com/cm5/ubuntu/xenial/amd64/cm/dists/xenial-cm5/InRelease) and gplextras. Would be great if the release files get fixed. Thanks!

As a work-around (to be able to install CDH packages):

edit the list of sources (/etc/apt/sources.list.d/cloudera.list) and replace "xenial-cdh5" with "xenial-cdh5.15.1"
run "apt update" which will now fetch the 5.15.1 package lists

We rolled back the 5.16.0 release and it caused some inconsistencies in some repo files.

It should be fixed now.

Confirmed: the xenial/16.04 release files do not cause any issues now. Thanks!

Hello Laszlo Zeke,

I think we have a similar case with 6.2

I have opened a question regarding but no one replied:
