 Description   

With automated deployments being the norm these days, things break if old deprecated distributions disappear from our MariaDB repositories. We should preserve the final MariaDB release for a given distro (e.g. MariaDB 10.1.16 for Ubuntu 15.10 "Wily") in our Ubuntu and Debian repositories.

To work around this issue you can alter your repository URL to point to the last working packages.
Change the "repo/10.1/ubuntu" part of your apt line to "mariadb-10.1.16/repo/ubuntu".

@Daniel: Thank you for this hint.

I've implemented this in the release process and restored the 10.1.16 wily packages to the main MariaDB 10.1 repository.

juergen-sfx: You'll probably want to switch back to using the standard repository path (e.g. "repo/10.1/ubuntu") as old release directories (like mariadb-10.1.16) are removed from the mirrors after a time to conserve space. The main 10.1 repository will continue to have the 10.1.16 wily packages, but the 10.1.16 release-specific repository directory will eventually go away (probably shortly after the 10.1.19 release).
