While trying to add/update a dependency to a helm chart I'm getting this error. No helm plugins are installed with the name helm-manager.

$ helm dep update

The stable and incubator repositories of the Helm charts have been moved to a new location. You must updated URI in charts.yaml (or requirements.yaml) to point to the new repositories in order to let the Helm dependency resolver find the correct location.

Name Old Location New Location
stable https://kubernetes-charts.storage.googleapis.com https://charts.helm.sh/stable
incubator https://kubernetes-charts-incubator.storage.googleapis.com https://charts.helm.sh/incubator

After that you should be able to run helm dep update without further modifications.

I get this sometimes when there's a mismatch between my Chart.yaml and the configuration of my subchart dependencies.

For instance:

Chart.yaml:

dependencies:
- name: foo
  ...
- name: bar
  ...

values.yaml:

foo: 
  flag: true
# but no entry for bar

It may be an artifact of some other element of my configuration (Artifactory hosting a proxy of the world for Helm) but I find myself running into this frequently enough that I hope this answer may help someone else.
