On Ubuntu 16.04, _aspnetcore-runtime_ 2.1.8 is missing for the Debian apt package repository.

ubuntu$: wget -q https://packages.microsoft.com/config/ubuntu/16.04/packages-microsoft-prod.deb
ubuntu$: sudo dpkg -i packages-microsoft-prod.deb

ubuntu$: sudo apt-get install apt-transport-https
ubuntu$: sudo apt-get update
ubuntu$: sudo apt-get install dotnet-sdk-2.1

This is failing for the 2.1.8 .Net Core Release.

This missing _aspnetcore-runtime_ for 2.1.8 release is resolved for Ubuntu 16.04. Mentioned in https://blogs.msdn.microsoft.com/dotnet/2019/02/12/net-core-february-2019/#comment-741405

@leecow Some links in the opening post are wrong. The link for .NET Core 2.1.8 release notes should be: https://github.com/dotnet/core/blob/master/release-notes/2.1/2.1.8/2.1.8.md and not https://github.com/dotnet/core/blob/master/release-notes/2.1/2.1.7/2.1.8.md

And for .NET 2.2.2:
https://github.com/dotnet/core/blob/master/release-notes/2.2/2.2.2/2.2.2.md and not https://github.com/dotnet/core/blob/master/release-notes/2.2/2.2.1/2.2.2.md

[leecow]

Thanks @Rutix - fixed.

@leecow Using 2.2.104 SDK in Azure DevOps .NET Core Tool Installer fails because it's not in the releases.csv.

When will that be added?

[leecow]

@muratg and @joeloff - can you look at @PolitovArtyom 's issue above (https://github.com/dotnet/core/issues/2304#issuecomment-463154664)?

[leecow]

@kieronlanning - I see it in line 5 of the csv? If you're referring to the exe installer, those have not typically been included in the csv (though I see a few releases where they snuck in).

@leecow Interesting, when I set my project to 2.2.104, the .NET Core SDK Installer fails with:

Cannot read property 'trim' of undefined

I've tested it with 2.2.103, and it's A-OK.

[leecow]

I suspect the Azure folks have not finished their deployment yet.

[muratg]

@PolitovArtyom we are tracking that issue here: https://github.com/aspnet/AspNetCore/issues/7546

[kieronlanning]

@leecow Is there a way to track the coordination between the various places - Azure AppServices, Azure Blob Deployments, GitHub's releases.csv etc?

A means to track it would also help in situations like this too. We would have checked a tracker, and just waited rather than commenting here...win/ win!

We've been waiting for 2.2.2 for several months as it solves a problem with the HttpContextAccessor, so keen to get in updated ASAP.

Update: I've just tried it again, and it's still failing. I've never known them to take this long...

[kieronlanning]

@leecow Looks like it's a problem with naming. It's referenced here: https://github.com/Microsoft/azure-pipelines-tasks/issues/9366

[bschapendonk]

@leecow

Regarding the fix for the Azure DevOps .NET Core Tool Installer, according to https://github.com/Microsoft/azure-pipelines-tasks/issues/9366#issuecomment-456711057 only the error message is improved.

So instead of a Cannot read property 'trim' of undefined we now get a The specified version's download links are not correctly formed in the supported versions document.

[leecow]

Thanks @bschapendonk ... looks like this my fault :-/ Resolved 2.2.2 field names with https://github.com/dotnet/core/pull/2313.

@kieronlanning - hopefully this PR unblocks you. Regarding tracking, that's something we're still trying to get visibility into.

[kieronlanning]

@leecow Amazing work, thanks! All our builds working a-ok now! Cheers!

Why was Microsoft.AspNetCore.Mvc.Formatters.JsonInputFormatter moved/renamed to Microsoft.AspNetCore.Mvc.Formatters.NewtonsoftJsonInputFormatter.cs?

[dougbu]

Why was Microsoft.AspNetCore.Mvc.Formatters.JsonInputFormatter moved/renamed to Microsoft.AspNetCore.Mvc.Formatters.NewtonsoftJsonInputFormatter.cs?

@IanKemp moving the Json.NET dependencies is an intentional breaking change in the 3.0 preview releases. This and related changes were announced in aspnet/Announcements#325.

I am trying to use Azure DevOp's .NET Core SDK Installer step to install version 2.2.2 but I am running into an error with the download links/blobs not existing anymore.

When I manually visit the links I get the following message:

<Error> <Code>BlobNotFound</Code> <Message> The specified blob does not exist. RequestId:d2d1a17e-801e-0114-115d-d42dfa000000 Time:2019-03-06T20:43:25.7517795Z </Message> </Error>

Changing the version value to use the version-sdk value from this list (2.2.104 - which I'm not sure is what I want) will successfully download the SDK but then it wants to use NuGet version >= 4.7 during the NuGet restore step (instead of v 4.4.1 which I have specified). I see there is an option to always use the latest version of NuGet but I would like to avoid this due to potential random build failures it could introduce in the future when versions change.

Error message:

##[error]The nuget command failed with exit code(1) and error(NU1102: Unable to find package NuGet.Frameworks with version (>= 4.7.0) - Found 33 version(s) in NuGetOrg [ Nearest version: 4.7.0-preview1-4986 ]

I would also rather not use a preview version of NuGet.

Edit

I have my build working with .NET Core SDK version 2.2.104 and NuGet 4.7.1 my question still remains as to why I cannot use 2.2.2 for the .NET Core SDK version.

Closing as newer updates shipped - see #2432

@BeigeBadger's solution worked for me. Couldn't get any 2.x version to work but 2.2.104 worked for whatever reason. According to the documentation, I should have been able to do 2.2.x or even 2.x but neither worked. I tried running on both a local and hosted agaents
