Why doesn't "> woody" netslect-apt ignore non-us entries in the list ? It should even filter so that the test is done only on the right mirror (having a fast volatile mirror that doesn't provide the archive is not relevant). That is IMO the best question, though we : * remind admins of mirrors that -non-US can be removed * might want to keep some mirrors of non-US http://debian.org/distrib/archive#non-us-archive > poor-man' status of non-us mirrors as of today: > http://people.debian.org/~filippo/nonus_listing How can you expect http://somemirror/debian-non-US/dists/lenny to return 200 OK ??
