Cannot install on Ubuntu 20.04

[inthegarage]

I'm using the instructions mentioned here:

https://docs.couchdb.org/en/3.2.2-docs/install/unix.html

These don't appear to work and at the "sudo apt update" stage, I get the following errors (I've retried this a few times now):

Ign:23 https://apache.jfrog.io/artifactory/couchdb-deb una InRelease

The when I try to install:

sudo apt install couchdb

Package couchdb is not available, but is referred to by another package.
This may mean that the package is missing, has been obsoleted, or
is only available from another source

I read some old posts that "something" wasn't available, but this looks it currently broken. Can anyone advise what I should do instead?

cheers.

Hi,

there is no "Ubuntu 24"... What do you mean?

Can you paste what source /etc/os-release outputs?

Can you paste your apt sources list?

Sorry my bad, typed in a hurry, I've updated it, 20.04.

I get a new error in apt-update so "something/one" is trying to repair it:

Err:15 https://apache.bintray.com/couchdb-deb focal Release
Could not handshake: The TLS connection was non-properly terminated. [IP: 52.28.39.148 443]

This is the same issue in a browser so it is a genuine error.

[big-r81]

Okay, please do the following:

Run the following commands and paste the output:

1. cat /etc/os-release
2. cat /etc/apt/sources.list.d/couchdb.list

[inthegarage]

No problem, here you go:

os-release:

couchdb.list:

deb [signed-by=/usr/share/keyrings/couchdb-archive-keyring.gpg] https://apache.jfrog.io/artifactory/couchdb-deb/ una main

I see the error has return to 404, so not sure what is happening to the server. However the error is as reported in the 1st message.

[big-r81]

Okay, change the word una in couchdb.list to focal and try again updating apt.

[inthegarage]

Yes that has worked many thanks @big-r81

If you wish a bug raised for this then please reply.

[big-r81]

@inthegarage Yw!

I'm not sure if it's really a bug, because the documentation stated this steps for Debian/Ubuntu. You are using Linux Mint which is a Ubuntu derivat, but yes please create a bug report and link to this discussion.
