I suspect that the "is not a bzip2 file" indicates something is actually wrong in a proxy on your way to that host or on that host itself. I wrote a bash program lp:~smoser/+junk/check-archive to check archives for this purpose a while a go. I run it on de.archive.ubuntu.com here and it seems fine: $ ./check-archive -vvv http://de.archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu \ precise precise-updates precise-proposed precise-backports That doesn't mean that the server was not actually broken when you reported this, nor does it mean there is nothing in *your* path breaking it. It just means that from my IP to that mirror, it looks good. I've actually never seen the '(stdin) is not a bzip2 file" errors before. -- ubuntu-server mailing list [email protected] https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-server More info: https://wiki.ubuntu.com/ServerTeam
