Don't know whether its related, I stopped using ftp.au.debian.org. IIRC it was replying to package requests with a 302 redirect, which apt-proxy seemed to be unable to handle. Is this a 302 redirect something debian package management/archive mirroring tools are expected to handle, or are mirrors not expected to use redirects? ftp.iinet.net.au/debian/ also seems to be intermittent partially updated. I wonder whether they're mirroring from ftp.au.debian.org, and also having problems with the 302 responses. HTH Andrew -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe".
