What happened to old Google Cloud SDK Debian packages?

According to the release notes, the current Google Cloud SDK version is 334.0.0 and the previous 4 are (in reverse chronological order):

  • 333.0.0
  • 332.0.0
  • 331.0.0
  • 330.0.0

According to the Recommended installation for Debian, I should be able to install any of these:

If you'd like to revert to a specific version of Cloud SDK, where VERSION is of the form 123.0.0, run: sudo apt-get update && sudo apt-get install google-cloud-sdk=123.0.0-0 The most recent ten releases will always be available in the repo.

However, today (2021-03-31) this only works for the current version. After running sudo apt-get update this works:

sudo apt-get install google-cloud-sdk=334.0.0-0

This does not:

$ sudo apt-get install google-cloud-sdk=333.0.0-0
Building dependency tree       
Reading state information... Done
E: Version '333.0.0-0' for 'google-cloud-sdk' was not found

Same result for the other 3 older versions.

I am using the documented repo:

$ cat /etc/apt/sources.list.d/google-cloud-sdk.list
deb [signed-by=/usr/share/keyrings/cloud.google.gpg] https://packages.cloud.google.com/apt cloud-sdk main

Where can I get the old Google Cloud SDK Debian packages? Should I be using a different repo?

But in other repos, as Ubuntu Bionic or Debian Sid (unstable version) you can find all the versions

https://packages.cloud.google.com/apt/dists/cloud-sdk-sid/main/binary-amd64/Packages https://packages.cloud.google.com/apt/dists/cloud-sdk-bionic/main/binary-amd64/Packages

Maybe it's an error in the Google package build, but if you update the apt source to sid it should work.

$ more /etc/apt/sources.list.d/google-cloud-sdk.list
deb https://packages.cloud.google.com/apt cloud-sdk-buster main

$ apt list -a google-cloud-sdk
Listing... Done
google-cloud-sdk/cloud-sdk-buster,now 335.0.0-0 all [installed]
google-cloud-sdk/cloud-sdk-buster 334.0.0-0 all

# Update google-cloud-sdk.list file to sid and apt-get update

$ more /etc/apt/sources.list.d/google-cloud-sdk.list
deb https://packages.cloud.google.com/apt cloud-sdk-sid main

$ apt list -a google-cloud-sdk

$ sudo apt-get install google-cloud-sdk=333.0.0-0
....

$ gcloud --version

I have opened an error in the Google Issue Tracker

https://issuetracker.google.com/issues/184651533

Update 2021-04-19: Google has fixed the issue and now the package contains previous versions (from 158.0.0-0 to 336.0.0-0)
