Core: Problem installing .NET Core 2.1 on Ubuntu 18.04 (missing file in the repo)

[vstoykov]

When I'm trying to install .NET Core for the first time on almost fresh Ubuntu 18.04 (clean install, no upgrade from older version, installed all updates till today and some extra software from standart repositories) it will not succeed because of an HTTP 404 error for missing deb files.

Here is the output:

the same issue,Centos7

It also broke previous working versions. We have a CI process that was successfully installing dotnet 2.1.104 on CentOS 7.4. The 2.1.104 package is still available, but the dependencies bumped to dotnet-runtime-deps-2.1.0-rc1 which fails.

[spartanetsru]

Try to manually install dotnet-host-2.1.0 first and then install SDK or runtime you needed.

aspnetcore-runtime-2.1 for Ubuntu:
apt-get install dotnet-host-2.1.0 aspnetcore-runtime-2.1

dotnet-sdk-2.1 for Centos:
yum install dotnet-host-2.1.0 dotnet-sdk-2.1

[AreYouQQ]

I have same problems
spartanetsru 's solution is OK,Thanks

[eebomarsi]

Thanks @spartanetsru . Your Centos fix works.

[leecow]

Clean up of the prod repo is now complete (removed pre-release 2.1 host). [package manager] refresh|update should resolve this issue.

[kimbaudi]

I know this issue is kind of old, but I wanted to point out that I am currently facing a similar error of E: Failed to fetch https://packages.microsoft.com/ubuntu/18.04/prod/pool/main/d/... on Ubuntu 18.04 when I perform sudo apt -y upgrade or sudo apt install dotnet-sdk-2.1. I opened a issue

Also, I tried @spartanetsru solution but it didn't work:

sudo apt install dotnet-host-2.1.0 dotnet-sdk-2.1

results in:
