apt error "archive not found" in Ubuntu 12.04 LTS

Hi,

 

I've installed a new Ubuntu12.04.03 64bit server vm and added the cloudera repos for CDH and CM in an own .list file =>

/etc/apt/sources.list.d/cloudera.list contains:

deb [arch=amd64] http://archive.cloudera.com/cdh4/ubuntu/precise/amd64/cdh precise-cdh4 contrib
deb-src http://archive.cloudera.com/cdh4/ubuntu/precise/amd64/cdh precise-cdh4 contrib
deb http://archive.cloudera.com/cm4/ubuntu/precise/amd64/cm/ precise-cdh4 contrib
deb-src http://archive.cloudera.com/cm4/ubuntu/precise/amd64/cm/ precise-cdh4 contrib

 

and added the repo key via "curl -s http://archive.cloudera.com/cdh4/ubuntu/precise/amd64/cdh/archive.key | sudo apt-key add -" successfully.

 

Just as described here: http://www.cloudera.com/content/cloudera-content/cloudera-docs/CM4Ent/latest/Cloudera-Manager-Instal...

 

Sadly the command "sudo apt-get update" produces errors =>

""

Hi,

 

issue is solved, I think I need to take some reading lessons 🙂

The entry for the CM was wrong, it has to be =>

deb [arch=amd64] http://archive.cloudera.com/cm4/ubuntu/precise/amd64/cm precise-cm4 contrib
deb-src http://archive.cloudera.com/cm4/ubuntu/precise/amd64/cm precise-cm4 contrib
