I am getting the famous error message when fetching puppet6 repo from an internal webserver hosting our ubuntu repositories.

E: The repository 'http://ubunturepo.office.tho.com/apt.puppetlabs.com focal Release' does not have a Release file.

Even though the Release file is already there.

Here is the config file for /etc/apt/sources.list:

deb  http://ubunturepo.office.tho.com/apt.puppetlabs.com focal puppet6

Here is the directory:

root@ubunturepo:/var/spool/apt-mirror/skel/apt.puppetlabs.com/dists/focal# ll

If you try the repository's URL in a browser, you get redirected to a domain name service company's website. So it looks like the domain isn't set up properly (yet), has been suspended or is not reachable for some other reason. And on the domain name service company's website, there surely isn't a Release file ;)
