Notably, there has been no related change of the mirror method since the trusty release. So if it started working later, than that is related to the reworked acquire system.
As such, I'd like this bug to be closed as invalid, as it's not worth it. The pre 1.1 acquire system cannot really deal with failures gracefully. You could of course try wily, if it works there, you're lucky, and can backport the fix. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1625667 Title: Trusty: apt does not try next mirror if index file download fails with mirror:// source To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/apt/+bug/1625667/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
