Description

Describe the bug

It looks like Photon OS download links are still pointing to old "packages.vmware.com" and were not migrated to "packages.broadcom.com", which is leading to 404 when users click on downloads.

OLD ->
https://packages.vmware.com/photon/5.0/GA/iso/photon-5.0-dde71ec57.x86_64.iso

NEW ->
https://packages.broadcom.com/photon/5.0/GA/iso/photon-5.0-dde71ec57.x86_64.iso

Research direction

Search the repository for packages.vmware.com and identify every Photon OS download link still using the old host. Replace those links with packages.broadcom.com, then verify the resulting URLs no longer return 404 and that no old download links remain.
