OneAPI apt repository - File has unexpected size - Mirror sync in progress?

[Matthias1102]

I am trying to build a Docker container, which adds https://apt.repos.intel.com/oneapi to its list of repositories for the apt tool. However, when my docker build command executes apt-get update, I can see the following failure.

This looks similar to the issue "OneAPI apt repository broken". Can I expect that this issue is a temporary error (although I can see this issue for three hours now). Or is there something broken with the OneAPI repository?

Hi Matthias, please click here: https://www.intel.com/content/www/us/en/develop/documentation/get-started-with-intel-oneapi-base-linux/top/using-containers.html, to know more on how to use containers with Intel® oneAPI Base Toolkit.

Please let us know if the issue still persists.

Hi ArpanB,

thank you very much for your answer. I will consider it in the future.

However, the Docker container, which I want to build, belongs to an existing project. The Dockerfile uses the INCLUDE+ instruction to include Dockerfiles of several other components -- including OneAPI. I am not happy with this approach, but we cannot change it at the moment.

Anyhow, I have seen that in the meantime the container build process works again. So it was indeed a temporary error. Since I am not the only one who has reported this issue (the post "OneAPI apt repository broken" seems to address the same topic), do you have an rough estimation how often https://apt.repos.intel.com/oneapi enters into such an inconsistent state?

Best regards

Matthias

I build the Docker container only occasionally. But during the last two weeks, I haven't observed the issue anymore.
