Failed to fetch installer for ubuntu 14.04 Trusty AMD64 architecture

Is something wrong with the code/ md5 sums/website at 'deb.theforeman.com'?

I ran 'sudo apt-get update && sudo apt-get -y install foreman-installer'
and it terminated after the line:

W: Failed to fetch http://deb.theforeman.org/dists/trusty/Release Unable
to find expected entry 'trusty/binary-amd64/Packages' in Release file
(Wrong sources.list entry or malformed file)

E: Some index files failed to download. They have been ignored, or old ones
used instead.

I went to 'http://deb.theforeman.org/dists/trusty/Release' and although I
don't really understand *.deb system at all, I see 'Trust' and 'amd64 in
the top of the file that is returned to my browser, as in:

Origin: TheForeman
Label: TheForeman
Suite: trusty
Codename: trusty
Components: 1.10 1.5 1.6 1.7 1.8 1.9 nightly stable
Architectures: i386 amd64 armhf arm64
MD5Sum:
.
.
.

anyone understand this error?

Now that I've gone through it, I don't see an md5/sha1 sum for that
listing. The installer and the releases are not matching it seems.

Please try again after running "apt-get update". There was a disk space
issue on that server yesterday, it might have resulted in a half-written
file if a package was updated. It looks OK now.
