Apache Zeppelin Installer Failure

I originally posted this in the Arch Linux forums, because it appears the root of the problem is on their Apache Zeppelin page. A rather rude forum monitor summarily closed the post telling me to post my message here, because I run Manjaro Linux on my system.


I tried to install Apache Zeppelin through the “Add/Remove Software” GUI interface. The installation failed when the download failed with a 404 error. The installer was attempting to download the package using this URL (sorry, the Arch Linux forum replaced some of the address with an ellipsis):

http://apache.claz.org/zeppelin/zeppeli … in-all.tgz

I tried navigating to the host, and it appears to be a classified ad site. I thought something must have hijacked my system, but inspecting the build files showed the same URL in there. I then pointed my browser to this URL provided with the package information in the installer GUI:

http://aur.archlinux.org/packages/apache-zeppelin

To my surprise, that page points to essentially the same errant URL for the package download (again, the Arch Linux forum replaced some of the address with an ellipsis):

http://apache.claz.org/zeppelin/zeppeli … in-all.tgz

Is that the correct download URL and the file is missing, or is it the wrong host in the URL?

AUR is unsupported whether you are using Manjaro or Arch.

The installer source does not exist anymore - that is - jugding from the result of the download url.

It is a well known issue with expired domain names - some picks it up and leeches on the domains previous history.

The package was flagged out-of-date (2022-02-07), I am guessing the invalid source link.

If it is indeed a valid application you will have to figure out where you can obtain the source - from there you can build the package manually - but the forum does not deal with those un-maintained packages - you will have to figure that out on your own.

The upstream URL is https://zeppelin.apache.org/

:warning:
Be sure to note the Python version supported is Python 3.9 (Zeppelin) in contrast to Manjaro Python 3.12.x.

No, it’s not. Not anymore.

Different address, different version in the meantime.

You’ll need to adapt the PKGBUILD or use the original to install.
