The other day I think Netlify transistioned to Ubuntu Noble from Focal. and my site stopped deploying due to an error. I checked the build logs and it threw this error:
7:44:11 PM: mise ERROR Failed to install aqua:gohugoio/hugo/hugo-extended@0.40.3: HTTP status client error (404 Not Found) for url (https://api.github.com/repos/gohugoio/hugo/releases/tags/0.40.3): no asset found: hugo_extended_0.40.3_Linux-64bit.tar.gz
I reached out to netlify support and they suggested I set the build command manually. Below is the screenshot of that change:
So I redeployed and got the same error. Support said that there might be a configuration set on my repo thats forcing hugo-extended and they asked me to check if I had any configuration files that contained the “hugo-extended@0.40.3” command. But the config files they asked me check all sound like stuff on the build image:
.tool-versions
.mise.toml
mise.toml
.config/mise/config.toml
aqua.yaml or aqua.yml
Here is my current netlify.toml file:
[build]
publish = "public"
command = "hugo"
[build.environment]
HUGO_VERSION = "0.40.3"
HUGO_EXTENDED = "false"
Im wondering if I am missing anything. I can deploy from focal, but they have depreciated that build image (but itjs still working for now)…
I think their new build image doesn’t support hugo-extended 0.43 on Noble which is why I am in this predicament.
So Do I need to change my netlify.toml to hugo extended?

No, to use Netlify’s Hugo I think your simplest bet is to upgrade to a version => 0.54.0. Version 0.40 is like … 8 years old?
I know, I know. :D. I got lazy and never started an upgrade… I guess I have no choice now.
[build.environment]
HUGO_VERSION_DOWNLOAD = "0.43"
TZ = "Europe/Oslo"
[build]
publish = "public"
command = """\
mkdir -p "${HOME}/.local/bin" && \
curl -sLJO "https://github.com/gohugoio/hugo/releases/download/v${HUGO_VERSION_DOWNLOAD}/hugo_extended_${HUGO_VERSION_DOWNLOAD}_Linux-64bit.tar.gz" && \
tar -C "${HOME}/.local/bin" -xf "hugo_extended_${HUGO_VERSION_DOWNLOAD}_Linux-64bit.tar.gz" && \
rm "hugo_extended_${HUGO_VERSION_DOWNLOAD}_Linux-64bit.tar.gz" && \
git config core.quotepath false && \
export PATH="${HOME}/.local/bin:${PATH}" && \
hugo --gc --baseURL "${URL}"
"""
Works fine.
Yeah that seems to work.
Can I change my netlify build command settings back to default?
It doesn’t matter. The build command is read from the netlify.toml file.

So Netlify suggested that I remove that command and use the following instead:
[context.production.environment]
HUGO_VERSION = "0.43"
HUGO_EXTENDED = "true"
HUGO_ENV = "production"
That seemed to work.

Are you sure? This is what I see:

And… I misread the version in the topic title. You want 0.40.3 not 0.43…
[build.environment]
HUGO_VERSION_DOWNLOAD = "0.40.3"
TZ = "Europe/Oslo"
[build]
publish = "public"
command = """\
mkdir -p "${HOME}/.local/bin" && \
curl -sLJO "https://github.com/gohugoio/hugo/releases/download/v${HUGO_VERSION_DOWNLOAD}/hugo_${HUGO_VERSION_DOWNLOAD}_Linux-64bit.tar.gz" && \

git config core.quotepath false && \
export PATH="${HOME}/.local/bin:${PATH}" && \
hugo version && \
hugo --gc --baseURL "${URL}"
"""
Works great.
You’re right, I forgot to push changes… talk back with netlify support. They asked me not to use that config for some reason…
So I got a response back from another tech and they said yeah this is the best solution, so I think they are getting confused some times. thanks for your help.
Im going to work on upgrading my site to 0.54 like bep said and eventually want to upgrade to the newest version too in the winter of 2026. Wish me luck Hopefully I can get by until then.
