Hi, I was checking some things in the Debian mirror universe. o I noticed while looking at our monitoring https://mirror-master.debian.org/status/mirror-info/mirrors.netix.net.html that you don't seem to sync four times a day. We recommend mirrors match the update frequency of the archive, which is every 6 hours or four times a day. o Also, the tracefile suggests that the ftpsync version you are using is very old. Please upgrade. Using a modern ftpsync ensures updates are done in the correct order so apt clients don't get confused. In particular, it processes translations, contents, and more files that have been added to the archive in recent years in the correct stage. It also should produce trace files that contain more information that is useful for us. http://ftp.debian.org/debian/project/ftpsync/ftpsync-current.tar.gz Apropos, the latest ftpsync versions come with a wrapper script called ftpsync-cron, which is intended to be run out of cron every hour or so (at a randomish offset). The script monitors your upstream mirror, and if there was an update triggers a full sync using ftpsync. You might want to give it a try.
