I am trying to install the heroku toolbelt on my Ubuntu 12.04.

I am getting the following errors when I run the script from the heroku website:

$ wget -qO- https://toolbelt.heroku.com/install-ubuntu.sh | sh

W: Failed to fetch http://toolbelt.herokuapp.com/ubuntu/./Release.gpg 
Got a single header line over 360 chars

E: Some index files failed to download. They have been ignored, or old
ones used instead.

I have searched through here and found similar questions, and tried the fix in the question with no luck.

open to all ideas on fixing this issue!

install-ubuntu.sh adds /etc/apt/sources.list.d/heroku.list. However, it adds http://... instead of https://.... Change that to https.

I downloaded install-ubuntu.sh, added an s to the script, and then ran it. it's at least moving past that step now.

That seems to be a bug in apt, http://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=658346 It is reported to be fixed in 0.8.16~exp13 version of apt package.

Unfortunately, latest apt in Precise is 0.8.16~exp12ubuntu10.16. That means, it is up to you to wait till apt is updated in official repositories, build yourself a newer apt from source or use someone else's PPA like ppa:vnwildman/ppa.

EDIT: I can no longer advise that specific PPA because I've just wrecked my dpkg multiarch setup with it.

When it comes building from source, it seems to be sufficient to add

deb-src http://archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu quantal main restricted universe multiverse

to your /etc/apt/sources.list, and afterward use apt-get builddeps ### and apt-get source ### to install build dependencies and download package source from Quantal. When source is downloaded, I prefer use debuild from devscripts package to compile and package downloaded sources in single command.

On Ubuntu try the standalone heroku toolbelt. It worked for me:

wget -qO- https://toolbelt.heroku.com/install.sh | sh
