Ubuntu 14.04 LTS

**This works fine:**

```auto
sudo /usr/share/logstash/bin/logstash-plugin install logstash-filter-anonymize
Validating logstash-filter-anonymize
Installing logstash-filter-anonymize
Installation successful

```

**This gives an error:**

```auto
sudo /usr/share/logstash/bin/logstash-plugin prepare-offline-pack logstash-filter-anonymize
ERROR: Cannot create the offline archive, message: Cannot find plugins matching: `logstash-filter-anonymize`

```

What am I doing wrong?

The Elastic forums as well as the Github issue tracker seems to be a big void 👎 I cannot install logstash-filter-anonymize in an offline environment which makes the upgrade to ELK5 on our production environment impossible...
