Hi members and support! :)

It seems that the Debian repository for Edge (stable) Linux is not working today.

During package update the system returns the following error message:

Failed to fetch packages.microsoft.com Clearsigned file isn't valid, got 'NOSPLIT' (does the network require authentication?)The repository

I suspect this to be an InRelease SHA keys issue because navigating works fine to the package-signing URL  and to the package-repository URL (https://packages.microsoft.com/repos/edge) while having 1.1.1.1 and 8.8.8.8 in addition to my network provider's DNS.

+(to support) There is no 'Linux' option in the "Topics->Operating System" so I just posted it under 'Android' instead. It would be nice if you also included 'Linux' in Topics :) :) :)

    I had the same issue, and I solved it by removing the PPA (I use Ubuntu 20.04 LTS) and reinstalling it using the information written here: https://www.microsoftedgeinsider.com/en-us/download/?platform=linux.

    Despite being the beta's repository, it still allows to install the stable version, and it works (at least for me).
