Hey @raddirad
Your repository looks weird… It should be:
deb [signed-by=/etc/apt/keyrings/grafana.gpg] https://apt.grafana.com stable main
On /etc/apt/sources.list.d/grafana.list.
Are you sure you correctly followed the documentation you provide?
Can you share a history command?
Regards
hey @codi639
Yes the key location differs from the one in the manual. This shouldn’t be the issue. We use a different location for keys in our systems.
It worked until yesterday on debian/ubuntu systems.
WHen uninstalling grafana from a system that already had it, i get the same error as in my OP. Package cannot be found
Searching for grafana I get
# apt search grafana

#9 6.321 This may mean that the package is missing, has been obsoleted, or

FYI - This appears to have been fixed. Everything is working again.
I can confirm, the issue is resolved. Packages are installed as usual again
