I'm running a GitHub Action that's not seeing the latest Google Chrome version (96) which was released 1,5 days ago, and instead claims that a version before (95) is the newest version available already.
My question here to you is: how can I check the apt repository (it seems to use azure.archive.ubuntu.com) it's using to see if the problem is there, to see what version of google-chrome-stable is listed there? That is, I suspect it's there, but don't know how to check. From there on out I should be able to troubleshoot my actual problem (that my end-to-end selenium tests are failing because of an outdated Chrome version).
Some more relevant details:
My most recently failed build shows this Ubuntu version for the action:
Operating System
Ubuntu
20.04.3
LTS
Virtual Environment
Environment: ubuntu-20.04
Version: 20211108.1
Included Software: https://github.com/actions/virtual-environments/blob/ubuntu20/20211108.1/images/linux/Ubuntu2004-README.md
Image Release: https://github.com/actions/virtual-environments/releases/tag/ubuntu20%2F20211108.1
I try to update Chrome in that container using:
sudo apt-get update
sudo apt-get --only-upgrade install google-chrome-stable
google-chrome --version

google-chrome-stable is already the newest version (95.0.4638.69-1).
0 upgraded, 0 newly installed, 0 to remove and 43 not upgraded.
Google Chrome 95.0.4638.69
How can I find out what version of google-chrome-stable is listed in http://azure.archive.ubuntu.com? How do I navigate the structure of those web resources? The browser interface you get when you go there is... not intuitive.
Please "teach me how to fish": what's going on here? Where can I read up on the structure of the online resources that apt-get update uses? (I know there's another question on how to get Google Chrome updated and that should work for me too, but in this question I just want to learn about interpreting the sources.)
