ElasticSearch 7 APT repository - hash sum mismatch

Hello,

Since 31th March 2020, install from https://artifacts.elastic.co/packages/7.x/apt stable/main amd64 elasticsearch amd64 7.6.2 doesn't work because of hash sum mismatch.
Problem is for multiple DEB packets. I tested 'elasticsearch' and 'kibana' on fresh Debian 10 install.

Example for 'elasticsearch' :
Hashes of expected file:

  • SHA512:5a86d49bc184bea4f73380bc95633d60439af6d4152605c12f5b1edb251593e1fe22af91595498708bc66890b4b6dcd283397736a2ecfce32ccbbbb3ee38ce19

I tried multiple update from apt but hash are always the same.
Is there a problem with repository ?

Thanks in advance for your help.

Hey,

I just tested under a debian 10/buster VM and it worked for me. Can you give me any more tips for debugging?

I just followed the manual download steps at https://www.elastic.co/guide/en/elasticsearch/reference/7.6/deb.html#install-deb

and comparing the checksums turned out fine.

Can you do that on your local system as well?

Thanks!

Hello,

Thanks for your answer. I can't test for now but I will as soon as possible.
I can't give you more tips because, to be honest, I don't understand why I had sum mismatch. I followed every steps (from repository or manual install) but nothing worked.

Thanks again.

I'm having the same issue. Currently trying to download elasticsearch on Ubuntu inside a VirtualBox VM.

When I try the apt-get standard process (https://www.elastic.co/guide/en/elasticsearch/reference/current/deb.html) it always returns the hash mismatch error, for which I tried clearing the content from the lists directory:
apt-get clear
sudo rm -rf /var/lib/apt/lists/*
apt-get clear
apt-get update
apt-get upgrade
-retried -> same error
Also tried re-installing my VM from scratch: same issue.
Also tried disabling firewall both on my PC and on the VM: same issue.
Manual deb install ((https://www.elastic.co/guide/en/elasticsearch/reference/7.6/deb.html#install-deb) returns the following:
dpkg: error processing archive elasticsearch-7.5.2-amd64.deb (--install):
corrupted filesystem tarfile - corrupted package archive
dpkg-deb: error: paste subprocess was killed by signal

I saw somewhere that this may be a java issue; so I installed default java package ... retried ... same issue.

I've also tried using gdebi, I get dpkg: error processing archive elasticsearch-7.6.2-amd64.deb (--install):
dpkg-deb --fsys-tarfile subprocess returned error exit status 2

Hello,

I tried again and still facing same issue (Debian 10 VirtualBox 6.1 VM).
Same problem described by fredyfredburger.

Impossible to install elasticsearch or kibana for me.
