I posted a similar problem here: microsoft/dotnet#1152

This was also reported at dotnet/core#3988.

@livarcocc where should this one go?

An update on the problem: I've filed an internal ticket and emailed the repo admins. I'm going to use dotnet/core#3988 for more followup as it happens.

where should this one go?

Some issues about the Linux package repo have traditionally gone on the Core-Setup repo, which is probably why one was filed over here after the consolidation. I think we should find a better place for issues like this--issues about outages or release process issues that affect endpoints like the Microsoft Linux package repository or Download Center. (They aren't normally specific to the Runtime, they tend to affect the SDK and ASP.NET as well.)

A lot of these have been tracked at dotnet/core recently, which seems fine to me. However, we should probably take a hard look at anywhere we point people at Core-Setup to report installer issues (like the announcement posts). @leecow

Thanks, @dagood

Closing as resolved: this was fixed on Dec 13. (dotnet/core#3995)
