Ubuntu apt update: repo does not have a Release file

Help / Discuss

I’m getting update errors on my Ubuntu machine this morning:

Err:8 http://maven.xwiki.org stable/ Release
403 Forbidden [IP: 92.222.135.198 80]
Reading package lists… Done
E: The repository ‘http://maven.xwiki.org stable/ Release’ does not have 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.

Is something broken on the repository, or something changed? Thanks.

Slow on getting xwiki-common, though.

Thanks for checking… it’s working today. Maybe someone was working on or updating the repo then.

Never mind…
