Sudden azure-cli installation failure with single-shot script on Ubuntu Trusty: Unable to locate package azure-cli

[bcraun]

Describe the bug
Beginning 02/07/2023 Bitbucket pipeline execution fails during attempted installation of azure-cli package. Error is:

E: Unable to locate package azure-cli

The installation method that started failing is:

curl -sL https://aka.ms/InstallAzureCLIDeb | sudo bash

To Reproduce
Fails with either of the installation options documented by the following methods

Option 1 (single-shot command):
https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/cli/azure/install-azure-cli-linux?pivots=apt#option-1-install-with-one-command

Option 2 (separate steps):
https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/cli/azure/install-azure-cli-linux?pivots=apt#option-2-step-by-step-installation-instructions

Expected behavior
azure-cli installs successfully using the single-shot command documented in Option 1

Environment summary
Bitbucket pipeline execution environment which I believe is Ubuntu Trusty within Docker. Same environment that had previously worked until 02/08/2023. Additional details can be provided, if needed.

Additional context
Partial pipeline output from Option 1:

As an additional data point, I tried the one-shot command locally on Ubuntu 20.04 (focal) which was successful so maybe this is specific to trusty.

14.04 is EOL long long time ago. We only support 18.04 and newer version. We recommend you to update your OS version. We don't guarantee the script or manual step in the doc works on 14.04.

As a workaround, you change arch=amd64 to arch=all in /etc/apt/sources.list.d/azure-cli.list in option 1.
After doing this, apt update && apt install azure-cli should work again.

As for the one-shot command, I can reproduce.

In ubuntu:trusty, the log shows:

Hit https://packages.microsoft.com trusty InRelease
Hit https://packages.microsoft.com trusty/main amd64 Packages

But in ubuntu:jammy and the log shows:

Get:1 https://packages.microsoft.com/repos/azure-cli jammy InRelease [3029 B]
Get:2 https://packages.microsoft.com/repos/azure-cli jammy/main all Packages [1096 B]

For ubuntu:trusty:

• The package index is: https://packages.microsoft.com/repos/azure-cli/dists/trusty/main/binary-all/Packages
• The amd64 index is empty: https://packages.microsoft.com/repos/azure-cli/dists/trusty/main/binary-amd64/Packages

For ubuntu:jammy:

• The package index is: https://packages.microsoft.com/repos/azure-cli/dists/jammy/main/binary-all/Packages
• The amd64 index is empty: https://packages.microsoft.com/repos/azure-cli/dists/jammy/main/binary-amd64/Packages

Understood about upgrading but, unfortunately, it is not within my control. I'm still not understanding why this worked with the same environment until yesterday?

As a workaround, you change arch=amd64 to arch=all in /etc/apt/sources.list.d/azure-cli.list in option 1.
After doing this, apt update && apt install azure-cli should work again.

Option 1 is a one-shot command. How would one change /etc/apt/sources.list.d/azure-cli.list during the automated pipeline execution?

It turns out that Atlassian do provide a way to specify the Ubuntu image to be used in pipelines. I made the change and am now able to install azure-cli. Thanks for the quick responses.
