apt::source definition works only with Source, not with Source.gz

I use this manifest:

apt::source { 'repo.universe-factory':
    location   => 'http://repo.universe-factory.net/debian/',
    release    => 'sid',
    repos      => 'main',
    key        => '16EF3F64CB201D9C',
    key_server => 'pgpkeys.mit.edu';
  }

Now I cannot install packages from it, because there exists only a Source.gz and not

http://repo.universe-factory.net/debian/dists/sid/main/source/Sources
Solution

  • The problem is not the missing gz ending, the problem is somewhere else:

    puppet cannot follow the redirect to the https site:

    http://repo.universe-factory.net

    redirects to 

    https://repo.universe-factory.net

    If you change the code to

    apt::source { 'repo.universe-factory':
  location   => 'http://repo.universe-factory.net/debian/',
  ...

    and ensure, that the package apt-transport-https is installed, it works!
