Download link for older Qt versions dissapeared from qt.io

See original GitHub issue

I tried to install older Qt version (5.5). This worked well some month ago.

But now I get an error message:

python3 -m aqt install 5.5 linux desktop -O /home/runner/work/minutor/Qt
2021-02-12 19:08:10,415 - aqt - INFO - aqtinstall(aqt) v0.11.1 on Python 3.9.1 [CPython GCC 5.5.0 20171010]
2021-02-12 19:08:10,981 - aqt - ERROR - Download error when access to https://download.qt.io/online/qtsdkrepository/linux_x64/desktop/qt5_55/Updates.xml
Server response code: 404, reason: Not Found
Error: The process 'python3' failed with exit code 1

indicating that the download link is not valid anymore. When looking at that server directory, it seems that all version prior 5.9 are removed now.

What should it be? Unsupported versions by Qt are removed, I don’t think it should be this actions’ job to maintain insecure Qt versions by itself.
