For a while I've had my Ubuntu (10.04) machine set to use the UMOSS mirror for apt. I was recently having a problem with a package (flashplugin-installer), and on a whim I went into the repository dialog in synaptic and selected the main US mirror instead. Upon updating, I found there are now a bunch of packages waiting to upgrade, and installing that version of flashplugin-installer works. So what I'm wondering is, is the UMOSS mirror actually up to date?
I'm honestly not sure how to verify when it was last updated and compare that to the main mirror. It's, of course, possible that I just hit a narrow window between when the main mirror was update and when the UMOSS one was, but that does seem relatively improbable. Kind regards, Nick
