Failed update apt cache

trellis

I keep running into the same issue when trying to setup trellis.

Failed to update apt cache: unknown reason
fatal: [default]: FAILED! => {"changed": false}

Ansible failed to complete successfully. Any error output should be
visible above. Please fix these errors and try again.

I have read other threads and tried the suggestions for running apt-get update and vagrant destroy, but none of them work.

Do you get any useful debugging info if you run ansible w/ verbose output? i.e. -vvv (I think is the argument)

The mariadb mirror seems to be having latency issues and possibly downtime: mirrors.gigenet.com/mariadb/repo/10.5/ubuntu

Now the ouput of sudo apt update is:

Going manually to Index of /mariadb/repo/10.5/ubuntu/ lists empty folders.
Has gigenet.com stopped mirroring mariadb? I’ve asked them via email now, I’ll update if I get a reply.

The repo is back online, here’s an email reply I received:

Hello,

My apologies, at the time our mirrors server was undergoing maintenance, and MariaDB automatically disables mirror sites undergoing maintenance. The repo is back online now.

Okay, I will try again and provide more debugging info.
