I didn't mention klecker-ftp anywhere in my config files.
Its not on the round-robin list for ftp.debian.org either:

# host ftp.debian.org
ftp.debian.org has address 130.239.18.173
ftp.debian.org has address 130.239.18.165
ftp.debian.org has IPv6 address 2001:6b0:e:2018::165
ftp.debian.org has IPv6 address 2001:6b0:e:2018::173
ftp.debian.org mail is handled by 0 .


What would you suggest to avoid this kind of problem?


Every helpful comment is highly appreciated.

In testing/sid, it's a new apt. Try and using '#apt update' and no 
longer use apt-get.
