Package: approx Version: 5.3-1 Severity: normal Dear Maintainer,
Apt and/or Approx are having trouble fetching packages for 'wheezy-updates'. Without Approx, Apt is happy: # cat /etc/apt/sources.list deb http://ftp.us.debian.org/debian wheezy main deb-src http://ftp.us.debian.org/debian wheezy main deb http://ftp.us.debian.org/debian wheezy-updates main deb-src http://ftp.us.debian.org/debian wheezy-updates main deb http://security.debian.org/ wheezy/updates main deb-src http://security.debian.org/ wheezy/updates main 2016-04-17 11:59:52 root@cd2533 /etc/apt # apt-get update Get:1 http://ftp.us.debian.org wheezy Release.gpg [2373 B] Get:2 http://security.debian.org wheezy/updates Release.gpg [1554 B] Get:3 http://ftp.us.debian.org wheezy-updates Release.gpg [1554 B] Get:4 http://security.debian.org wheezy/updates Release [102 kB] Get:5 http://ftp.us.debian.org wheezy Release [191 kB] Get:6 http://security.debian.org wheezy/updates/main Sources [212 kB] Get:7 http://ftp.us.debian.org wheezy-updates Release [151 kB] Get:8 http://ftp.us.debian.org wheezy/main Sources [5984 kB] Get:9 http://security.debian.org wheezy/updates/main amd64 Packages [347 kB] Get:10 http://security.debian.org wheezy/updates/main Translation-en [202 kB] Get:11 http://ftp.us.debian.org wheezy/main amd64 Packages [5838 kB] Get:12 http://ftp.us.debian.org wheezy/main Translation-en [3846 kB] Get:13 http://ftp.us.debian.org wheezy-updates/main Sources [5516 B] Get:14 http://ftp.us.debian.org wheezy-updates/main amd64 Packages [7056 B] Get:15 http://ftp.us.debian.org wheezy-updates/main Translation-en [4879 B] Fetched 16.9 MB in 29s (579 kB/s) Reading package lists...

Done Perhaps the hyphen '-' in 'wheezy-updates' has something to do with the error (?). As a work-around, I can use Approx for 'wheezy' and 'wheezy/updates' only: 2016-04-17 12:07:26 root@cd2533 /etc/apt # grep -v '#' /etc/apt/sources.list deb http://approx:9999/debian wheezy main deb-src http://approx:9999/debian wheezy main deb http://approx:9999/security wheezy/updates main deb-src http://approx:9999/security wheezy/updates main deb http://ftp.us.debian.org/debian wheezy-updates main deb-src http://ftp.us.debian.org/debian wheezy-updates main 2016-04-17 12:07:35 root@cd2533 /etc/apt # apt-get update Hit http://approx wheezy Release.gpg Hit http://approx wheezy/updates Release.gpg Hit http://approx wheezy Release Hit http://approx wheezy/updates Release Get:1 http://ftp.us.debian.org wheezy-updates Release.gpg [1554 B] Get:2 http://ftp.us.debian.org wheezy-updates Release [151 kB] Hit http://approx wheezy/main Translation-en Get:3 http://ftp.us.debian.org wheezy-updates/main Sources [5516 B] Get:4 http://approx wheezy/updates/main Translation-en [202 kB] Get:5 http://ftp.us.debian.org wheezy-updates/main amd64 Packages [7056 B] Get:6 http://ftp.us.debian.org wheezy-updates/main Translation-en [4879 B] Hit http://approx wheezy/main Sources Hit http://approx wheezy/main amd64 Packages Get:7 http://approx wheezy/updates/main Sources [270 kB] Get:8 http://approx wheezy/updates/main amd64 Packages [438 kB] Fetched 1081 kB in 4s (252 kB/s) Reading package lists...
