Is the conversionupdate server having an issue?

[JeremyEdge]

I attempted to do a fresh install last night and when the script attempts to install the GPG key, it's receiving a 404.

A little further down, it attempts to install the .deb file from the same server and it's unable to extract the components it needs.

The script doesn't detect this error but the results end up being that there isn't any content in the Apache server when you hit the web page. Based on the error, i went and deleted the '/var/cache/apt/archives/expedition-beta_1.2.0_amd64.deb' and tried to manually 'apt-get install expedition-beta', but it also produced the same result.

As a side note, my current partner account and previous partner account isn't able to authenticate to the LIVEcommunity site. It's giving HTTP 500 errors after the password step. I ended up creating this guest account just to get this question posted.

Hi ,

This issue should be resolved now, please try again.  

[JeremyEdge]

Is the mirror still syncing from your changes? I tried to import the GPG using the command from the install script. Then attempted to delete the .deb. Finally tried to do the install. No dice on any of it but the error seems different now.

Hello @JeremyEdge 

Why not just run "sudo apt-get install expedition-beta" since it has the latest package anyways?

[azuniga]

You can also use the following url.

sudo wget https://conversionupdates.paloaltonetworks.com/expedition-updates/expedition_1.2.0.all.deb

[JeremyEdge]

If you refer to my command output above after @lychiang said it was resolved, you'll notice that's the command I'm running that is generating the new error. I'm also running it as root so i don't have to use sudo.

[JeremyEdge]

I attempted that method last night and used dpkg to attempt to install it. The method generated the same error that i originally reported. I'll reattempt it and report back if it generates a different behavior than previously observed.

[JeremyEdge · Accepted solution]

Manual install of the deb file appears to be successful after using the command you mentioned below to download it.

"cd /tmp"

"sudo wget https://conversionupdates.paloaltonetworks.com/expedition-updates/expedition_1.2.0.all.deb"

"sudo dpkg -i expedition_1.2.0.all.deb"

Afterwards, in the web interface, it was complaining about a python os dependency, but i used the below command that it referenced to deploy.

"sh /var/www/html/OS/BPA/updateBPA306.sh"

Hopefully the conversionupdates server can be straightened out so that no one else has to go through these hoops.

Hello @JeremyEdge 

Yes we are looking into it.
