With the release of 5.1.1 today, I found that the 5.0.2 packages are no longer available in the apt repositories. This has broken my builds because I'm pinning versions and it now fails to pull the version I have specified. ```auto root@infra-es-client-dd45f945:~# tail -1 /etc/apt/sources.list deb https://artifacts.elastic.co/packages/5.x/apt stable main root@infra-es-client-dd45f945:~# apt install elasticsearch=5.0.2 Reading package lists... Done Building dependency tree Reading state information... Done E: Version '5.0.2' for 'elasticsearch' was not found ``` Attempting to install the new version works fine: ```auto root@infra-es-client-dd45f945:~# apt install elasticsearch=5.1.1 Reading package lists... Done Building dependency tree Reading state information... Done The following NEW packages will be installed: elasticsearch 0 upgraded, 1 newly installed, 0 to remove and 10 not upgraded. Need to get 0 B/33.2 MB of archives. After this operation, 36.9 MB of additional disk space will be used. Selecting previously unselected package elasticsearch. (Reading database ... 84103 files and directories currently installed.) Preparing to unpack .../elasticsearch_5.1.1_all.deb ... Unpacking elasticsearch (5.1.1) ... Processing triggers for systemd (229-4ubuntu12) ... Processing triggers for ureadahead (0.100.0-19) ... Setting up elasticsearch (5.1.1) ... ``` Is this expected behavior? It seems excessive to remove older versions from the repos the day a new version is released. ---

Weird, I can see 5.0.2 and 5.1.1 in `apt-cache show elasticsearch`. ---

Is that from your local cache though? All I see is two versions (one being the default Ubuntu Xenial package): ```auto root@infra-es-client-dd45f945:~# apt-cache show elasticsearch Package: elasticsearch Source: elasticsearch Version: 5.1.1 Architecture: all Depends: libc6, adduser, bash Installed-Size: 36010 Maintainer: Elasticsearch Team Priority: optional Section: web Filename: pool/main/e/elasticsearch/elasticsearch_5.1.1_all.deb Size: 33175584 SHA256: c8a38990a24b558fb9c65492034caa00044e638d0ede6d440b00cb4eacb46d1d SHA1: f2fdf6d2bdd6e526c5be53f859c4dd111677a4b6 MD5sum: 46f6064685f449237aad96a2ede83f28 Description: Elasticsearch is a distributed RESTful search engine built for the cloud.

Yeah you are correct. I'll ask internally. ---
