The job on Ubuntu 14.04 was running fine and suddenly stopped working with the following error:

The .travis.yml is here.

I’m not quite sure but it’s possible that they are deprecating Ubuntu 14.04 packages as it will be EOL at the end of the month.

Could you try to run your build on Xenial instead? Here’s what you need to add to your .travis.yml file:

dist: xenial

Let us know how it goes!

Well the build works now without any changes to the travis.yml file. It was not working for a few days but now everything is working again.

Glad to hear it!

I believe the APT repo and/or packages must have been fixed upstream.

Please open another topic if it happens again.

Thanks!
