How did you get to that page, and what is it showing for you? I don't see a 19.10 entry in the dropdown, and the link just takes me to RHEL instructions (the default). We don't have a 19.10-specific package feed, as you can see by the repo not being found. (It looks like the config package does exist, but we haven't published to that repo.)

(Keeping up better is tracked by #2576.)

just guess the package name should exists. but it not.

For what it's worth, the 19.04 repository's packages work in 19.10 for me.

[pysiak]

Yeah, https://packages.microsoft.com/ubuntu/19.10/prod/pool/main/ doesn't have the packages just like 19.04 would under: https://packages.microsoft.com/ubuntu/19.04/prod/pool/main/

Should we be expected to install the 19.04 or wait for 19.10 or ...?

Should we be expected to install the 19.04

It's definitely not ideal, but yes, in cases like this you need to use the "nearest" packages available (or an alternative install method like snaps or tar.gz), and they should work. Our plans to get better at having packages for each distro are at #2576.

cannot use 19.04 package on 19.10.

apt update will report error:

@scegg That's caused by an outage tracked at #3988, once that's fixed up it should work.
