Ubuntu dotnet install fails with "File has unexpected size"

[russau]

Problem encountered on https://dotnet.microsoft.com/download/linux-package-manager/ubuntu18-04/sdk-current
Operating System: Linux Ubuntu 18.04 - x64

There is something unhappy about the supplied packages-microsoft-prod.deb. I'm sure it was working a few hours ago. I can reproduce it in a docker container. Maybe I just need to wait for a CDN somewhere to update.

$ docker run -it --rm ubuntu:18.04
# apt update ; apt install wget
# wget -q https://packages.microsoft.com/config/ubuntu/18.04/packages-microsoft-prod.deb -O packages-microsoft-prod.deb
# md5sum packages-microsoft-prod.deb
a743911ec6ef33668b61c51947d87ecb  packages-microsoft-prod.deb

This was reported over at https://github.com/dotnet/core-setup/issues/7778 as well, and I see it on my machine too. Not closing the issue though--I think it will useful to have this issue active as a signpost for others hitting it until we can get in contact with the repo admins to fix it. /cc @leecow

I also encountered this problem.

Ditto; here's the file info and server IP, in case it helps. Or, even if it doesn't, LOL!

This is the problem file it's expecting it to be 66619 instead it's 66537

[leosongwei]

Note that the same problem happened before on other Microsoft Debian repositories: microsoft/vscode#66238

[pollardpj]

Is there any fallback to this, or workaround? Any old(er) archive(s) we can point to?

[rnsc]

How can this be escalated to the appropriate team?

[rob-glas]

I am experiencing this also.
