Greetings to all;

 

For a few hours now, as of today 2025-05-29 1418 North America/Pacific, I have been unable to update apt, receiving the following two error messages:

 

E: Failed to fetch http://beta.armbian.com/dists/bookworm/Contents-armhf File has unexpected size (2085376 != 51213). Mirror sync in progress? [IP: 23.186.113.5 80]
E: Failed to fetch http://beta.armbian.com/dists/bookworm/Contents-all File has unexpected size (44878 != 8029). Mirror sync in progress? [IP: 23.186.113.5 80]

 

I suppose it is possible that the "mirror sync" mentioned is taking a very long time, but this seems unlikely to me.

 

Does anyone have any ideas?

But still possible

 

You can also switch manually to a fixed mirror from the list here: https://docs.armbian.com/Mirrors/

Beta repository.

 

- should be on servers where we push on directly and this error can't occur (unless something broke down)

- is the same quality as other Linux distributions (there is no other distro that would maintain those custom devices)

- currently assembly is broken as some patches are failing and thus (beta) repo is not getting any updates until its fixed https://github.com/armbian/os/actions/runs/15337468717/job/43160986093
