Package: mirrors
Severity: important

Dear Maintainer,

I'm having some trouble to install the latest Jessie Version (8.11). I
need this for some legacy systems... At the installation process I'm
getting a "Bad archive mirror" error, which is a result of this error:
"broken mirror: invalid Suite in Release file for Jessie"

Your README [1] says:
"Debian 8.11, or jessie. Access this release through dists/oldoldoldstable"

But in the release file [2] the Suite name is: oldoldstable and not
oldoldoldstable and for my understanding, this causes the "Bad archive
mirror" error.

Furthermore I tried to install Jessie (8.0?) from the archive mirrors, which
will work to a certain point of the base installation process, but it
fails somewhere at the end. The error this time:
"Unable to install busybox" which is a result of the error "Warning: The
following packages cannot be authenticated"


I believe, fixing the suite name in the release file would solve the
"bad archive mirror" installation problem.

Thank you.

Best regards
Thorsten
