Is there a repository engine issue for google cloud datalab on Linux Mint 18.3?

I am getting an error when I try to install google cloud datalab:

$ sudo apt-get update
    ...
    Ign:18 http://packages.cloud.google.com/apt cloud-sdk-sylvia/main Translation-en
    Reading package lists... Done
    W: The repository 'http://packages.cloud.google.com/apt cloud-sdk-sylvia Release' does not have a Release file.
    N: Data from such a repository can't be authenticated and is therefore potentially dangerous to use.
    N: See apt-secure(8) manpage for repository creation and user configuration details.
    E: Failed to fetch http://packages.cloud.google.com/apt/dists/cloud-sdk-sylvia/main/binary-amd64/Packages  404  Not Found [IP: 2607:f8b0:4007:803::200e 80]
    E: Some index files failed to download. They have been ignored, or old ones used instead.

$ sudo apt-get install google-cloud-sdk-datalab
    [sudo] password for ...: 
    Reading package lists... Done
    Building dependency tree       
    Reading state information... Done
    E: Unable to locate package google-cloud-sdk-datalab

Does anyone have any ideas? Has anyone made datalab work with linux mint 18.3?

I had the same problem. You have to install Google SDK directly. Here is the link: google-cloud-sdk-200.0.0-linux-x86_64.tar.gz

Extract the file, then run ./install.sh then close the shell, open a new shell and run gcloud init

I followed same steps and faced same problem. So just removed newly added repo from /etc/apt/sources.list.d/google-cloud-sdk.list and installed gcloud sdk with simple

sudo apt-get update && sudo apt-get install google-cloud-sdk

ignoring all steps with repos and keys. And everything works fine.

PS I had Python 2.7 already installed

EDIT though this solutions works for basic operations like gcloud init I had to additionally follow Quick Start as mentioned in @kurdtpage answer to make gcloud components update and all other components work
