Hi there It seems that the url from ([current reference](https://www.elastic.co/guide/en/elasticsearch/reference/current/setup-repositories.html)) for the debian repository is not working. cat /etc/apt/sources.list.d/elasticsearch-2.3.list `deb http://packages.elastic.co/elasticsearch/2.3/debian stable main` aptitude update says: `W: Failed to fetch http://packages.elastic.co/elasticsearch/2.3/debian/dists/stable/main/binary-amd64/Packages: 404 Not Found [IP: 184.72.244.137 80]` Thanks for any help Peter ---

I think there is a typo, it should be; ```auto echo "deb http://packages.elastic.co/elasticsearch/2.x/debian stable main" | sudo tee -a /etc/apt/sources.list.d/elasticsearch-2.x.list ``` We removed specific repos for minor releases. ---

I've raised this - [https://github.com/elastic/elasticsearch/issues/17423](https://github.com/elastic/elasticsearch/issues/17423) (I'm travelling at the moment otherwise I would submit a PR!) ---

Unable to update any of my packages with yum. When I hardcode 2.3 instead of 2.x inside of my repo file I get the following: `http://packages.elastic.co/elasticsearch/2.3/centos/repodata/repomd.xml: [Errno 14] PYCURL ERROR 22 - "The requested URL returned error: 404 Not Found" Trying other mirror. Error: Cannot retrieve repository metadata (repomd.xml) for repository: elasticsearch-2.3. Please verify its path and try again` ---

The same thing applies. ---

Think we are also going back and forth on twitter. What I'm trying to say is that the yum updates for all of my es products are showing no updates. I have .repo files setup for the .x version of elasticsearch, logstash and kibana. This worked fine for the last release. Not sure what is causing this. ---

I need to upgrade specifically to 2.2.1 because that's the highest version one of my critical plugins currently supports. Does that mean I can no longer use apt-get for my install and update? I'm not a fan of installing by zip, I never trust that configurations will be preserved. Disregard, it was just explained to me on a related github thread that the minor version can be specified during apt-get install. Thanks. ---
