Elasticsearch repository in a Ubuntu focal 20.04 throws the following error while attempting to update apt:

```auto
E: Failed to fetch https://artifacts.elastic.co/packages/7.x/apt/dists/stable/main/binary-amd64/Packages.bz2 File has unexpected size (78886 != 78795). Mirror sync in progress? [IP: 34.120.127.130 443]

```

Is the repository down? any possible workarounds for this?

Elastic Infra's still investigating. If you don't mind, let's consolidate this to [this parent Discuss post](https://discuss.elastic.co/t/centos-7-metadata-file-does-not-match-checksum-during-yum-update/284913) for updates.
