Just ran into this same problem, here's the response from Github. It's sending a redirect to https://github.com/kubernetes/minikube/releases/download/v1.34.0/minikube-latest.x86_64.rpm instead of https://github.com/kubernetes/minikube/releases/download/v1.34.0/minikube-1.34.0-0.x86_64.rpm:

$ curl -I https://github.com/kubernetes/minikube/releases/latest/download/minikube-latest.x86_64.rpm
HTTP/2 302
server: GitHub.com
date: Tue, 07 Jan 2025 16:50:50 GMT
content-type: text/html; charset=utf-8

location: https://github.com/kubernetes/minikube/releases/download/v1.34.0/minikube-latest.x86_64.rpm

I assume other links on that page that have versions in the filename are also having the same problem, such as https://github.com/kubernetes/minikube/releases/latest/download/minikube_latest_amd64.deb

EDIT: It appears it was added in this commit to update the download links from Google Cloud storage to the Github release page.

There is a difference between the regular hack/jenkins/release_build_and_upload.sh (to GCS) and hack/jenkins/release_github_page.sh, in that the "latest" copies of the packages are not uploaded to GitHub.

# unversioned names to avoid updating upstream Kubernetes documentation each release
cp "out/minikube_${DEB_VERSION}-0_amd64.deb" out/minikube_latest_amd64.deb
cp "out/minikube_${DEB_VERSION}-0_arm64.deb" out/minikube_latest_arm64.deb
cp "out/minikube-${RPM_VERSION}-0.x86_64.rpm" out/minikube-latest.x86_64.rpm
cp "out/minikube-${RPM_VERSION}-0.aarch64.rpm" out/minikube-latest.aarch64.rpm

Excluded here:

# Upload all end-user assets other than preload files, as they are release independent
for file in $( find out \( -name "minikube[_-]*" -or -name "docker-machine-*"  \) -and ! -name "*latest*"); do

[afbjorklund]

To make matters worse, the download command is missing important flags like --fail so it always succeeds.

curl -LO https://github.com/kubernetes/minikube/releases/latest/download/minikube-latest.x86_64.rpm

Same problem, for deb:

• Installer command for debian package is broken #20194

[medyagh]

we changed the the URLS to the github but the old url should work,
sorry about that, we should ensure to publish the RPM assets to the github as well
