My github action failed with the following error:

Error: This request has been automatically failed because it uses a deprecated version of `actions/upload-artifact: v3`.

I have a list of actions I'm using, and the error doesn't state a clear source of the error, but this repository seems to be the only one pointing towards upload-artifact v3, at https://github.com/awalsh128/cache-apt-pkgs-action/blob/master/action.yml#L88

Looks like someone has proposed a fix in #140

Is GitHub rolling out these failures gradually? The announcement states that they will cause an error starting on January 30th but we're seeing this error now as well (somewhat sporadically)

I was asking around, but does anyone know how to get a dependency tree for GH actions that led you here? I had to hunt and peck all my actions and their dependencies to get here.

[awalsh128]

PR has been merged and new package published as https://github.com/awalsh128/cache-apt-pkgs-action/releases/tag/v1.4.3

Still need to update the v1 and latest tags; will do tonight PT time. In the meantime, switch to the explicit version.

There is another notice that points out brownouts for the package for 2025-01-09.

Although being a dependency we get a blackout. :(

[ivorbosloper]

This has been fixed, thanks

[awalsh128]

Thanks for confirming. Will close once alias tags are updated.

[FezVrasta]

This is happening again to us with latest 🤷‍♂️

Same here.

I noticed in my action log, downloaded tarball SHA is a6c3917cc929dd0345bfb2d3feaf9101823370ad with awalsh128/cache-apt-pkgs-action@latest or awalsh128/cache-apt-pkgs-action@v1, which does not point to the latest commit. This is very strange. I am not sure if it is a problem with Github itself.

[maximeantoine1997]

We had the same issue. We explicitly set the version to v1.4.3 and it worked again.

[awalsh128]

#145 is already an open issue to update the tags. Hoping to get it done tonight.
