Trying to install confluent platform (kafka) 3.1.1

Question

I'm following the instructions linked in this wiki doc to install the confluent platform on my EC2 instance running amazon linux (version 2016.09). I did everything it says including:

$ sudo rpm --import http://packages.confluent.io/rpm/3.1/archive.key

Created /etc/yum.repos.d/confluent.repo with these contents:

[Confluent.dist]
name=Confluent repository (dist)
baseurl=http://packages.confluent.io/rpm/3.1/6
gpgcheck=1
gpgkey=http://packages.confluent.io/rpm/3.1/archive.key
enabled=1

[Confluent]
name=Confluent repository
baseurl=http://packages.confluent.io/rpm/3.1
gpgcheck=1
gpgkey=http://packages.confluent.io/rpm/3.1/archive.key
enabled=1

Then did

$ sudo yum clean all
$ sudo yum install confluent-platform-2.11

I am getting the following errors however:

It kind of looks like the rpm files just aren't at the location that the confluent docs say they are. It's not a problem with my internet connection or anything because when I change my confluent.repo file to point to http://packages.confluent.io/rpm/3.0 the kafka packages download just fine except for librdkafka. Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated, not sure what else to try at this point.

This looks to have been a temporary glitch which has been resolved since. (If not, please report back.)
