Hi,

I have followed all the instuctions given on this page: [https://www.elastic.co/guide/en/elasticsearch/reference/current/setup-repositories.html](https://www.elastic.co/guide/en/elasticsearch/reference/current/setup-repositories.html)

The last step mentioned results in a HttpError404:  
sudo apt-get update && sudo apt-get install elasticsearch

It is not able to find the packages mentioned in this link: [https://packages.elastic.co/elasticsearch/2.3.1/debian/dists/stable/main/binary-amd64/Packages](https://packages.elastic.co/elasticsearch/2.3.1/debian/dists/stable/main/binary-amd64/Packages)

below is the result of me running the installation command (I've removed all the the hit, get and ign lines)

sudo apt-get update && sudo apt-get install elasticsearch
