Hi @micware, you’re not doing anything wrong. This is a bug with our repository which we are currently waiting on a fix. This issue comes and goes and I haven’t figured out a pattern to when it starts or stops yet.

Did you come from: [Guide: Installing and testing OH3 snapshots/milestones using APT and YUM](https://community.openhab.org/t/guide-installing-and-testing-oh3-snapshots-using-apt-and-yum/104572) ?

If so, there’s a section in that same post for a workaround on the issue you’re experiencing:

```auto
wget https://openhab.jfrog.io/openhab/list/openhab-linuxpkg/pool/main/3.0.0~S1926/openhab_3.0.0~S1926-1_all.deb
sudo apt install ./openhab_3.0.0~S1926-1_all.deb

```

where S1926 should be the latest build inside [this folder](https://openhab.jfrog.io/openhab/list/openhab-linuxpkg/pool/main/). (1926 is the latest at the time of writing this post).
