there's not info info here to understand what's going on. can you provide the full config and command line you use?

without seeing your JSON file it's gonna be difficult, but: i had a similar (the same?) issue and had to use packer 1.3.5 - they changed something with their caching in newer versions, and packer-builder-arm-image isn't compatible with those (yet).

Hi,

I am using Packer 1.3.5.
Go version 1.13.4

This works:
{ "builders": [ { "type": "arm-image", "iso_url": "https://downloads.raspberrypi.org/raspbian_lite/images/raspbian_lite-2019-09-30/2019-09-26-raspbian-buster-lite.zip", "iso_checksum_type": "sha256", "iso_checksum": "a50237c2f718bd8d806b96df5b9d2174ce8b789eda1f03434ed2213bbca6c6ff", "mount_path": "/mnt/raspbian", "qemu_binary": "qemu-arm-static" } ] }

but this does not:

{ "builders": [ { "type": "arm-image", "iso_url": "http://releases.libreelec.tv/LibreELEC-RPi2.arm-9.2.0.img.gz", "iso_checksum_type": "sha256", "iso_checksum": "f9600ac23b8e0f99b8c9069c5136930c3802e3ad351a1f415da3dcf9ae542c0f", "mount_path": "/mnt/libreelec", "qemu_binary": "qemu-arm-static" } ] }

updated the code to work with packer 1.4.
i think you error is because .gz wasnt supported;
added gzip and bzip support to version 0.1.2

[yuval-k]

closing as this should be resolved in v0.1.2; please re-open if needed!

[michaelcohenunsw]

I can confirm the arm builder v0.1.3 with packer 1.4.5 is able to download https://downloads.raspberrypi.org/raspbian_lite/images/raspbian_lite-2019-09-30/2019-09-26-raspbian-buster-lite.zip.

I am still getting the same error as above. Are there any additional options I need to add in the json configuration?

[sergerad]

I get this error with v0.1.6 whenever I change the default iso_url value.

Whether the URL is completely bogus, or points to a valid zipped .img file, the same error occurs.
