centos 7.9

performing a normal 'sudo yum -y install dotnet-sdk-3.1'

it failed in our build pipeline which creates a image, so was just doing some diagnostics when saw new release was made.

We tested on Centos 7 and not able to repro this issue. The files seems fine on the feed as well.

@nealrowan can you Ping packages.microsoft.com from the problematic machine? I would like to see if the package is corrupted in some other mirror which I am not able to hit.

resolving to sd-apt-sea-d-1.southeastasia.cloudapp.azure.com

might be something with way I have setup the repos,
starting with a blank image and follow the guide, and using just 1 repo it seams to work, but doing similar in full builds its failing.

where it has been working for 6+ months. doing more digging

Did the release strategy change for net5 as oposed to netcore3.1? (Microsoft.Extensions.)
For example all packages were updated each time 3.1.9->3.1.10. But for the 5. invariant not all packages are updated. For example not all FileProvider packages are updated. My team uses MSbuild property to set versions for things like package version, which breaks if not all packages are updated

Under this url https://dotnet.microsoft.com/download/dotnet/5.0
This section Build apps - SDK -> SDK 5.0.102 -> Language support
C# 8.0
F# 4.7
Visual Basic 15.9

I think it should be
C# 9.0
F# 5.0
Visual Basic 15.9

Running into this on Amazon Linux 2 images hosted in us-east-1 today.

sudo yum -y install dotnet-sdk-3.1

But started getting this error today (1/13/2021 noticed around 7AM EST and started looking into this):
