Package: apt Version: 1.0.9.8.3 Severity: normal Dear Maintainer,
since sourceforge changed some technical details of their service a few months ago, debian repositories hosted on sourceforge are no longer handled correctly by apt-get. With the following line enabled in /etc/apt/sources.list deb https://sourceforge.net/projects/un-applet/files/debian debian main when trying to do "apt-get update" the following error occurs: (...)

They have been ignored, or old ones used instead. This is apparently the same problem as described at: https://sourceforge.net/p/forge/site-support/12143/ I can only guess about the reasons for this, I suppose it might have something to do with some fancy http(s) redirections sourceforge does, which maybe apt in not able to handle correctly. Interestingly the bug does not occur on an outdated system which still has an old LMDE install running, which has not been supported for about two years (which is basically Jessie as testing, "frozen" on a state somewhere in 2014). This system still uses apt-0.9.12.1 which handles the sources.list entry mentioned above correctly, allowing to perform "apt-get update" and afterwards installing packages from this repository. Another try on debian testing with apt-1.2.12 again failed, but this time with a different error message: (...)

Done W: The repository 'https://sourceforge.net/projects/un-applet/files/debian debian Release' does not have a Release file. N: Data from such a repository can't be authenticated and is therefore potentially dangerous to use. N: See apt-secure(8) manpage for repository creation and user configuration details. E: Failed to fetch https://sourceforge.net/projects/un- applet/files/debian/dists/debian/main/binary-amd64/Packages 404 Not Found E: Some index files failed to download. They have been ignored, or old ones used instead. The contents of the repository have been checked to be ok, an exact copy of the repo on a different server (sources.list entry deb http://download.tuxfamily.org/unapplet/debian debian main ) worked without problems, so I think the problem must be somehow related to the way sourceforge handles http(s) requests and apt's failure to deal with this correctly.
