Debian Stretch correctly reports availability of a new version, but download fails.

sources.list:

Code: Select all

deb http://download.virtualbox.org/virtualbox/debian stretch contrib
apt upgrade:

Code: Select all

Fehl:1 http://download.virtualbox.org/virtualbox/debian stretch/contrib amd64 virtualbox-5.2 amd64 5.2.18-124319~Debian~stretch
  404  Not Found
E: Fehlschlag beim Holen von http://download.virtualbox.org/virtualbox/debian/pool/contrib/v/virtualbox-5.2/virtualbox-5.2_5.2.18-124319~Debian~stretch_amd64.deb  404  Not Found
However the package itself shows up, if I direct my browser to http://download.virtualbox.org/virtualb ... albox-5.2/

The notification mechanism was there since last night (~16 hours ago), but there was a problem with the actual files. Be patient, it should be fixed within a couple of hours. The files themselves are already there if you want to update manually: https://download.virtualbox.org/virtualbox/5.2.18/

All the Debian-based distros (Ubuntu, Mint, Debian itself, etc.) were affected by this ... premature notification. ;)
Do NOT send me Personal Messages (PMs) for troubleshooting, they are simply deleted.

If you obfuscate any information requested, I will obfuscate my response. These are virtual UUIDs, not real ones.
