I merged #189121 several days ago but looks like the channel is not updating for reasons™, anyway maybe we need to find a fallback download url.

[joachifm]

This is a recurring issue with the bundle. I believe there are already a few fallback URLs but perhaps they all adhere to the policy of removing all but the latest release? I understand that upstream strongly prefers users always run the latest version.

To avoid build failures I suppose you could try re-enabling Hydra caching (if it's still disabled) but that incurs the risk of letting users run outdated versions for longer.

Why was it disabled? Maybe we should insert a comment with the explanation.

Depending on the reason for the disablement, #191492 may or may not eliminate whatever the benefit of disabling it being fetched+cached by Hydra was.

In ecd0e1a which delivers no good reason. Going to remove that. #192220
