Package: apt
Version: 0.6.45
Severity: important
apt-get update and most apt-get install operations return error that some file
cannot be found in the archive.
Knowing that the archives are big (though they should be complete if sync-ed
with rsync), this might be normal, but apt should handle the case and locate
the missing file elsewhere (instead of failing to complete the operation).
apt-get is a wonderful tool, but despite the much effort in the consistent
debian package system, under actual circumstances apt-get fails to deliver the
promised easy installation.
This is an important bug that often prevents the usage of apt-get (without
making it unusable for everyone). At the same time, this locator service would
be able to provide for MD5sum-s that would enhance security.
Marcell
This is an apt-get update example, which might be server specific AFAIK (and
locator service might not be much use), but the problem is similar for debian
packages that could be serviced from elsewhere:

No. Apt failed to download packages index from network sources, and this is
not apt's problem. Please read APT How-To to learn better how apt works.
I'm closing this bug.
