Hi, I have the same issue from home and from work (Sweden). This started happening like a few days ago though maybe 3-4 days and is consistently reproducible across two different networks and laptop restarts. This happens on Debian Sid.
apt I recently updated by ignoring bugs in hope it would solve the problem, but it didn't ii apt 3.1.14 amd64 commandline package manager ii apt-config-icons 1.1.1-1 all APT configuration snippet to enable icon downloads ii apt-listbugs 0.1.47 all tool which lists critical bugs before each APT installation ii apt-listchanges 4.8 all package change history notification tool ii apt-transport-https 3.1.14 all transitional package for https support ii apt-utils 3.1.14 amd64 package management related utility programs ii aptitude 0.8.13-8 amd64 terminal-based package manager ii aptitude-common 0.8.13-8 all architecture independent files for the aptitude package manager Fetched 63.8 MB in 2s (31.8 MB/s) Retrieving bug reports... 0% Fail E: HTTP GET failed Retry downloading bug information?
