Fix claude-desktop download 404 (upstream renamed release assets) - #472
Merged
Conversation
Upstream renamed release assets within existing tags from claude-desktop_<claude>-<aaddrick>_<arch>.deb to claude-desktop_<claude>_<arch>.deb, and the package Version field is now the bare claude version. Derive the filename version from just the upstream part of the tag — fixes the 404 breaking every molecule run. Co-Authored-By: Claude Fable 5 <noreply@anthropic.com>

Pull request overview
This PR updates the claude-desktop Debian asset filename/version derivation in the dev_gui Ansible role to match upstream’s renamed release assets, fixing Molecule failures caused by 404s when downloading the pinned .deb.
Changes:
- Adjusts the tag-to-filename version derivation to use only the upstream Claude version (dropping the aaddrick version component).
- Adds inline documentation explaining the upstream asset rename and why the dpkg version comparison now matches the upstream version.

Summary
Every Molecule run started failing today with a 404 downloading claude-desktop: aaddrick renamed the assets within existing releases from
claude-desktop_<claude>-<aaddrick>_<arch>.debtoclaude-desktop_<claude>_<arch>.deb. Verified against the release API and by extracting the new .deb's control file — its internalVersionis now the bare claude version (1.24012.9), so both the download filename and thedpkg-queryidempotence comparison should use just the upstream part of the tag. One-line derivation change (plus comment).Verified: new URL resolves (HTTP 206 on ranged GET), lint clean,
dev.ymlsyntax-check passes.Merge this before re-running the other open PRs — their Molecule jobs all hit this 404 now.
