It's a bug on apt-get
, that is not sending the correct GET headers, so the server answers with 404.
For example, telnet to the server mirror.cs50.net
at port 80 (HTTP), and enter the following (emulating an apt-get request):
GET /appliance50/2014/debs/dists/trusty/main/binary-i386/./appliance50_2014-0_i386.deb HTTP/1.1
User-Agent: Debian APT-HTTP/1.3 (1.0.1ubuntu2)
Host: mirror.cs50.net
Accept: */*
Then you will see the following:
telnet mirror.cs50.net 80
Trying 54.84.6.206...
Connected to mirror.cs50.net.
Escape character is '^]'.

If we leave out the dot (/./
) in the GET request, then the request responds with a redirect, i.e. 302, which is correct.

I've checkd this out with other mirrors and they report the same:

You should include in your bug report that apt-get should strip the get headers of the dot-n-slash.
Courtesy @hbdgaf, this how-to put me on the right track:
export DEBIAN_FRONTEND=noninteractive
echo mysql-apt-config mysql-apt-config/enable-repo select mysql-5.7-dmr | sudo debconf-set-selections
wget http://dev.mysql.com/get/mysql-apt-config_0.2.1-1ubuntu12.04_all.deb
sudo dpkg --install mysql-apt-config_0.2.1-1ubuntu12.04_all.deb
I put together this gist for the whole process.

You can configure debconf into non-interactive prompt:
If you find the complete key, you can also pre-configure the default value:
To be precise:
To find the key, after installing you can look for:
