It looks like this specific plugin hasn't been updated in 4 plus years and the old builds have since been discarded.

• Link to last update on plugin definition- Update ingress-nginx plugin #588
• Link to plugin yaml - https://github.com/kubernetes-sigs/krew-index/blob/master/plugins/ingress-nginx.yaml
• Link to latest release of the controller - https://github.com/kubernetes/ingress-nginx/releases/tag/controller-v1.11.3

There's a secondary problem

In the original plugin definition it takes a fully built package which the Kubernetes/ingress-nginx project no longer provides on their releases. I will file a follow up ticket in that repo

Doing some initial discovery the original build scripts/make targets have gone missing.

Issue for that filed here: kubernetes/ingress-nginx#12436
