Repository 'http://security.debian.org/debian-security buster/updates InRelease' changed its 'Suite' value from 'stable' to 'oldstable'

Some of my GitHub Actions workflows started recently to return this error when installing Chromedriver:

Get:1 http://security.debian.org/debian-security buster/updates InRelease [65.4 kB]
Get:2 http://deb.debian.org/debian buster InRelease [122 kB]
Get:3 http://deb.debian.org/debian buster-updates InRelease [51.9 kB]

Here is my step implementation:

What I tried

1. I read from here and here that adding sudo apt-get --allow-releaseinfo-change update or sudo apt-get dist-upgrade could resolve the problem, but even adding those to my workflow didn't resolve it.

2. I tried using this action setup-chromedriver but it returned the same error when following the documentation:

   steps:
   - uses: actions/checkout@v2
   - uses: nanasess/setup-chromedriver@master
     with:
       # Optional: do not specify to match Chrome's version
       chromedriver-version: '88.0.4324.96'
   - run: |
       export DISPLAY=:99
       chromedriver --url-base=/wd/hub &
       sudo Xvfb -ac :99 -screen 0 1280x1024x24 > /dev/null 2>&1 & # optional
   

3. As it seems to be related to Debian 10 (Buster) (?) I also tried to use another Ubuntu runner version as a runner (ubuntu-18.04 instead of ubuntu-latest), but nothing changed, same error.

How can I resolve this issue?

Answer

I observed afterwards that the problem was happening at the first command : sudo apt-get update (and I was adding the other command after...).

Substituting it for sudo apt-get --allow-releaseinfo-change update resolved my problem.

Therefore the answer was not to add the sudo apt-get --allow-releaseinfo-change update to the step executed commands, but substituting the sudo apt-get update command for it.

            sudo mv -f ~/chromedriver /usr/local/bin/chromedriver

I know you tried it with

apt-get --allow-releaseinfo-change update

but it worked for me.

This is my command in the dockerfile:

wget -q -O - https://dl-ssl.google.com/linux/linux_signing_key.pub | apt-key add - \
&& sh -c 'echo "deb [arch=amd64] http://dl.google.com/linux/chrome/deb/ stable main" >> /etc/apt/sources.list.d/google.list' \
&& apt-get --allow-releaseinfo-change update \
&& apt-get install -y google-chrome-unstable \
   --no-install-recommends \
&& rm -rf /var/lib/apt/lists/*

not required: rm -rf /var/lib/apt/lists/*
