Unable to fetch flair from repository

Installation
1

I’m trying to download and install flair 3.3-1 on y ubuntu 18.04 machine using the instructions shown here: Official flair site

I successfully installed the repo (I can see it on /etc/apt/sources.list).

When I’m issuing $ sudo apt install flair I get the following error

Err:2 https://cern.ch/flair/download/ubuntu/18.04  flair 3.3-0.3
  404  Not Found [IP: 192.12.184.19 8080]
E: Failed to fetch https://flair.web.cern.ch/flair/download/ubuntu/18.04/flair-geoviewer_3.3-0.3_ubuntu18.04_amd64.deb  404  Not Found [IP: 192.12.184.19 8080]

E: Unable to fetch some archives, maybe run apt-get update or try with --fix-missing?

This has been going on the last 3-4 days.
I can ping flair.web.cern.ch but not ping flair.web.cern.ch/flair

I’m wondering if there’s a network error and the repository is inaccessible.
Any help is much appreciated!

Hi @thanos
Ubuntu 18.04 is very old (it reached its end of life one year ago). It contains an old version of python therefore, is no longer supported for flair.

Please upgrade your system to the latest LTS Ubuntu.

If you want to use it with 18.04 you can download the source code of flair and compile it manually. Please be aware that some python functionality will not be supported from the 3.6 version that is default on the Ubuntu 18.04, so you would need to find a way to update the python version to at least 3.8
