CVS Troubleshooting

Why do I get a distribution not found or version not found errors even with a pinned version?

Specifying an exact or pinned version does not bypass JFrog Curation. Requests made through a curated repository are evaluated against Curation policies, including requests for exact versions.

If the requested version is blocked, it may be excluded from the package metadata returned to the package manager. The package manager can then report the version as not found or unavailable, even though it exists in the upstream repository. The exact error message varies by package manager.

Pinning determines which version is requested; it does not guarantee that the version is permitted by Curation.

A not found error can also have other causes. Check the Curation policy or audit information to confirm whether the version was blocked.
