Zabbix installation repository does not have a release file?

br flag

I am attempting to install the Zabbix monitoring software on an Ubuntu 20.04 server.

I am following the instructions here: https://www.zabbix.com/download?zabbix=6.0&os_distribution=ubuntu&os_version=20.04_focal&db=mysql&ws=apache

When I try to update, I get this error:

E: The repository 'https://repo.zabbix.com/zabbix/5.4/ubuntu focal Release' does not have a Release file.
N: Updating from such a repository can't be done securely, and is therefore disabled by default.
N: See apt-secure(8) manpage for repository creation and user configuration details.

This causes the whole installation to break, as I can pull some (most?) needed files and executables directly from the Ubuntu Focal repos, but there are a couple files Zabbix needs that seem to only be available from them.

Does anyone have some advice? Thanks.

The problem does not seem to be that the release file does not exist, but rather the `Could not handshake: Error in the pull function`.

Most people don’t grasp that asking a lot of questions unlocks learning and improves interpersonal bonding. In Alison’s studies, for example, though people could accurately recall how many questions had been asked in their conversations, they didn’t intuit the link between questions and liking. Across four studies, in which participants were engaged in conversations themselves or read transcripts of others’ conversations, people tended not to realize that question asking would influence—or had influenced—the level of amity between the conversationalists.
