Hi,
I've had the same problem. It looks like if the artifact is not in the
repository it will try another one, but if the repository is not available
it will not. Can someone comment whether it's a bug?
I fixed it by creating an empty repository on a box with the same name
("columbus" in your case). Then it went there, found nothing and fell back
to ibiblio.
Regards
Maciej Mastalarczuk
