KDE Neon misssing release file error

Help
1

I’m encountering a problem when running sudo apt update whereby apt tries three times to access http://archive.neon.kde.org/user`` noble Release , eventually responding with the error: Err:13 ``http://archive.neon.kde.org/user`` noble Release
502 Bad Gateway [IP: 2a02:6ea0:db00::1 80].

I try too browse to http://archive.neon.kde.org/user and the following screen is shown:

KDE error
KDE error1324×553 113 KB

See full output of sudo apt update below:

Anyone else experiencing this issue?

Yep, exact same issue here. Not sure what’s wrong exactly, but I think it’s safe to assume that something is wrong with the server/repo itself. Sorry I can’t be of better help, but glad I could find your post to confirm it’s not just me :sweat_smile:

“E: The repository ‘http://archive.neon.kde.org/user noble Release’ no longer has a Release file.”

Thanks for the reply, at least I know it’s not something specific too my configuration here.

Yes, something like a reverse proxy server or gateway device is probably down. Apt’s error is somewhat accurate-ish, since it can’t locate the release file, it reports that it “no longer has a release file.” as the standard error message :exclamation_question_mark:

Yep, it threw me for a bit until I really studied the error.
