Debian (APT) repository outdated, impossible to update

Lens General
#1

Hello, again I see the apt repository is outdated

apt info lens
Package: lens
Version: 2023.11.131420-latest
APT-Sources: https://downloads.k8slens.dev/apt/debian stable/main amd64 Packages

And for some reason download button for .deb redirects to Install Lens Desktop - Lens Documentation instead of actually download the deb file which in my case makes it impossible to update as the repo itself is outdated (:smiley_cat:

Also please make the .deb file available for download in cases like this

Please advice!

Guys, anyone? I feel left alone with this ):

Thanks for your feedback @andrea,
we are currently still experiencing some issues with publishing Linux binaries. The Snap Store has already been fixed, and you can find all the other binaries in our announcement:
Lens 2024.11.261604-latest - Release with the correct Download links

Thanks, it worked. I think it could be useful to have the .deb file linked in the official download section too.

#8

I just wanted to provide a quick update here. The Linux repositories are now up to date.

Still, it’s not working. I get:

P.S.
I don’t want to use snap repos for many reasons.

Hi,
there is something going on with the repository, though:
