Package: apt-get Version: 0.9.7.9 I have been having an ongoing problem with apt-get update over the last several months. Currently there seems to be multiple problems. I am in the process of documenting the problems so that each issue can be addressed independently assuming no dependent issues. This same problem occurs in aptitude. The version and time stamp was produced as follows:# apt-get -vapt 0.9.7.9 for amd64 compiled on Oct 8 2014 10:25:29 The Debian version is as follows:# lsb_release -aNo LSB modules are available.Distributor ID: DebianDescription: Debian GNU/Linux 7.7 (wheezy)Release: 7.7Codename: wheezy # uname -r3.2.0-4-amd64 # dateThu Nov 20 07:52:03 EST 2014
