# Apt repo: metadata folder is not created

We use the apt repository build in Nexus OSS 3.62…0-01.

Two old apt repositories created in an earlier version work as expected. But two new ones created in the now used version doesn’t create the metadata folder after uploading the first component.

Thank you very much, after using apt update the metadata was created. Did this change? The last time I had to delete metadata I was able to create it by pushing a component to the repo.

Have you tried making a client retrieve it via `apt-get update`?
