The remote package repository is outdated about miktex

[edocevoli]

I am afraid that all repositories are currently out-of-date because the last CTAN upload was unsuccessful. The next CTAN upload is scheduled, ETA is 20171031T0600 (UTC).

#49 <- probably same issue. Apparently temporary

[DrTwonky]

Same problem here with MiKTeX 2.9, basic 64bit installer 6520 on Win10.
@edocevoli: This issue should be reopened.

Workaround: manipulating the registry did the trick: reg delete HKLM\Software\WOW6432Node\MiKTeX.org\MiKTeX\2.9\MPM /f /v AuthTokenNotValidAfter.

[egorpugin]

Same for me.

Received following problem on many repositories:

Did you find any working repo?

[MaartenVL]

I'm also having this issue. Today I re-installed MikTex, since I was having some Issues.

[rodazuero]

Reporting same issue.

I'm also having this issue (Win 10)

[amaranPather]

I'm having this issue as well, regardless of the repository I attempt to connect to. (Win 10 version 1709)

[RogerLo0327]

Yes, I also have this issue. I am in Taiwan.
All four repository in Taiwan are out of dated. Tested by my 2 windows PC.

[IceServal]

Also have this problem in china shanghai win 10 PC using campus network with trying many repositories in different areas.

[MaartenVL]

It's working again for me now.

[mjhalwa]

i am using windows 10 and MiKTeX 2.9. I experience the same issue today. I already updated all packages and (twice), but I am unable to install new packages due to "outdated repository"

[alexhalbi]

Happened to me too today, deleting the Registry key did not help, I chose ctan.math.illinouis.edu this server seems to be updated.

It would be great if you could choose to try out multiple package repos if one is outdated. Kind of a fallback to search for an updated server, so you do not need to manually try all the servers until one works.

EDIT: I could only update MiKTeX core things with this server, after that, the server was outdated too... I could update the packages with http://ftp.fau.de/ctan/. After another check for updates on the last server, it seemed to outdated too... But, on another server it could not find any updates and it did not report any outdated problems.

BTW: The Regestry Key is on my Win10 64bit here: HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\MiKTeX.org\MiKTeX\2.9\MPM

[RubyShnol]

This is embarrassing. Reopen the issue. The solutions with the registry do not work.

[pfbuxton]

I too am presently getting this issue 8/Jan/2018.
Tried deleting the Regestry Key, but did not fix the problem.

[AbdullahXO]

Having the same issue with Windows 10 64bit
and with a new, clean installation of MiKTEX version 2.9.6520.

[JamesTCurran]

Same issue here.

[karvek]

I managed to update MiKTEX to 2.9.6515 and the current packages as alexhalbi suggested but no chances to add new packages due to "outdated repository".

[akivaTLI]

same issure here with win7 64bit and miktex ver. 2.9.6515

[moigagoo]

I don't have the registry entry mentioned above (using portable MiKTeX), so even if this workaround works, I can't use it :-(

[Chrislan07]

sam issue here

[Arytecs]

Same issue for me

[OpeTree]

Running MikTex version 2.9. Having the same issue of "remote package repository is outdated".

UPDATE= edocevoli said "This is a temporary issue. The repository list will be updated tomorrow."
See: #49

[senniraf]

I'm using Windows 10 and I'm having the same issue

[Cotton76]

I have the same issue. regedit workaround do not work for me!
windows 7 pro + MikTex version 2.9

[alexhalbi]

If you need new packages immediately you can just randomly try mirrors that's what I did to "resolve" this. But the registry fix does not seem to work anymore... Maybe a problem with the mirrors?

[knnyrotimi]

I am having an issue with updating my Miktex version 2.9. Its keep showing up "The remote package repository is outdated. You have to choose another repository. url=hhtp://ctan.math.illinois.edu/systems/win32/miktex/tm/packages/"

Can anyone hellp with this.

Thanks

[kaatrin]

I am having this issue too.

[adrianprochaska]

I am having troubles adding packages and synchronizing the repository, too.

[shuangz25]

I am having the same issue, and deleting HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\MiKTeX.org\MiKTeX\2.9\MPM does not work.

[brunoggregorio]

Same issue here with miktex 2.9 and win10 64bit

[howardlau1999]

Same issue in China now on Windows 10 64-bit with MiKTex 2.9. All repos dates are 2018/1/9.

[haidangbosco]

Same issue with miktex 2.9 and win10 64bit

[DawnGnius]

Same issue with miktex 2.9.6630 and win10 64bit in China
typing in powershell(admin):
mpm.exe --admin --set-repository="http://mirrors.tuna.tsinghua.edu.cn/CTAN/systems/win32/miktex/tm/packages/"
URL is chosen randomly (while ustc.edu.cn is unavailable), and it seems solved, miktex is able to update package now.

[DrTwonky]

I noticed that the reg key in question may appear at different locations. Plz try to delete them all:

reg delete HKLM\Software\WOW6432Node\MiKTeX.org\MiKTeX\2.9\MPM /f /v AuthTokenNotValidAfter,
reg delete HKLM\Software\MiKTeX.org\MiKTeX\2.9\MPM /f /v AuthTokenNotValidAfter,
reg delete HKCU\Software\MiKTeX.org\MiKTeX\2.9\MPM /f /v AuthTokenNotValidAfter.
