Public bug reported: Hi, while testing for an SRU in ua I found this which I think is less of a nice experience than it should be.
If you try FIPS via ua you might have no credentials, but want to try. What happens is: sudo ubuntu-advantage enable-fips xxx:xxx Running apt-get update... ERROR [...] W: The repository 'https://private-ppa.launchpad.net/ubuntu-advantage/fips/ubuntu xenial Release' does not have a Release file. E: Failed to fetch https://private-ppa.launchpad.net/ubuntu-advantage/fips/ubuntu/dists/xenial/main/binary-amd64/Packages 401 Unauthorized E: Some index files failed to download. They have been ignored, or old ones used instead. Fine, I get why xxx:xxx isn't working. But then it leaves my system in a bad state. # apt update [...] Err:7 https://private-ppa.launchpad.net/ubuntu-advantage/fips/ubuntu xenial Release 401 Unauthorized Reading package lists... Done E: The repository 'https://private-ppa.launchpad.net/ubuntu-advantage/fips/ubuntu xenial Release' does not have a Release file. I'd ask you to check the credentials somehow and only add the repo IF those are good. An alternative would be that if "on enablement" the fail is at the step "Running apt-get update... ERROR" then remove the repo you configured (the one in /etc/apt/sources.list.d/ubuntu-fips-xenial.list). So it could look either like: sudo ubuntu-advantage enable-fips xxx:xxx Checking Credentials... ERROR (no add repo happening) or: $ sudo ubuntu-advantage enable-fips xxx:xxx Running apt-get update... ERROR Rolling back repository...
