repo.mosquitto.org: debian buster packages > 2.0.12 not available

[momoskitto]

the latest version of mosquitto available for debian buster on repo.mosquitto.org is 2.0.12.

It appears that an update of the repository did not complete on 2021-11-21, there are *.tmp.* files left in http:https://repo.mosquitto.org/debian/dists/buster/main/ and subdirectories. The Packages.tmp file references version 2.0.14, but it is not available in Packages. Also, the 2.0.14 deb packages actually exist (http:https://repo.mosquitto.org/debian/pool/main/m/mosquitto/mosquitto_2.0.14-0mosquitto1~buster1_amd64.deb), but are not found by apt.

N.B. Similar sounding problem on debian bullseye, when using http:https://repo.mosquitto.org/debian/mosquitto-bullseye.list on a Raspberry Pi.

Had this problem for a docker build, checking the versions via apt-cache showed different version numbers

RUN wget http:https://repo.mosquitto.org/debian/mosquitto-repo.gpg.key && \
    apt-key add mosquitto-repo.gpg.key && \
    cd /etc/apt/sources.list.d/ && \
    wget http:https://repo.mosquitto.org/debian/mosquitto-bullseye.list

RUN apt-get update && \
    apt-cache show mosquitto | grep Version

Output

Reading package lists...
Version: 2.0.14-0mosquitto1~bullseye1
Version: 2.0.12-0mosquitto1~bullseye1
Version: 2.0.11-1

Workaround:

apt-get install -y mosquitto=2.0.14-0mosquitto1~bullseye1

Seems to work ok, so maybe there is a meta-data issue in the debian packages for the versoning?

I had the same issue but was able to install it via http:https://repo.mosquitto.org/debian/mosquitto-buster.list, this seems to work fine, but it's pretty annoying having to add another repository to get the package.

I am still observing 404, http:https://repo.mosquitto.org/debian/mosquitto-buster.list.

Same behavior on all the references from official doc, https://mosquitto.org/blog/2013/01/mosquitto-debian-repository/

sudo wget http:https://repo.mosquitto.org/debian/mosquitto-jessie.list
sudo wget http:https://repo.mosquitto.org/debian/mosquitto-stretch.lis
sudo wget http:https://repo.mosquitto.org/debian/mosquitto-buster.list

What's the new path for mosquitto-buster.list. Still getting 404 and there are no files at all. None of the *-jessie.list, *-stretch.list and *-buster.list exists
