GoogleChrome not downloading from community site

[joe-malicki]

When performing a "choco pull" for GoogleChrome, cannot download and getting the following error:

_PS C:\choco-setup\packages> choco download $package --no-progress --internalize --source $chocosource --output-directory $chocopackages --force --ignoredependencies

Additionally, if you download the nuget package directly from community webpage, the package size is on 5KB and does not contain the MSI install files.
NOTE: this was all working last month.

This looks like something to do with the Chocolatey CDN. Unfortunately, we're not going to be able to assist with that issue here in the Chocolatey Community discussions. I would suggest reaching out to support who should be able to assist. You can run choco support to get information on what support options are available to you.

For full transparency: I editted this post to make the formatting a little better (changed the ------- lines to triple backtick so that it would format as a code block. I also redacted the URL in the exception message.

Thank you for the information. I opened a support case with Chocolatey and they stated that this issue is with the actual package on the Community Site and they do not support this. Anyone one when the next version of GoogleChrome will be updated? Anyone else seeing this issue?

Hi @joe-malicki, I'll pick this up internally. It looks like this is related to package caching, and is related to this issue we've opened: chocolatey/home#313.
