Package: snapshot.debian.org Severity: important Dear Maintainer,
I'm seeing an issue using snapshot.debian.org/archive/debian-security for wheezy. Since it works every other try, could it be that one of your mirrors is out of sync/misconfigured? * What led up to the situation? I first noticed the bug when I changed the line deb http://snapshot.debian.org/archive/debian-security/20140926T211744Z wheezy/updates main contrib non-free to deb http://snapshot.debian.org/archive/debian-security/20141015T190511Z wheezy/updates main contrib non-free and ran apt-get update afterwards. *Please note: The result is the same whether I use "apt-get -o Acquire::Check-Valid-Until=false update" or simply "apt-get update".* *Also, I made sure proxies are not used.:* export declare -x HOME="/root" declare -x LOGNAME="root" declare -x MAIL="/var/mail/root" declare -x NCURSES_NO_UTF8_ACS="1" declare -x OLDPWD declare -x PATH="/usr/local/sbin:/usr/local/bin:/usr/sbin:/usr/bin:/sbin:/bin" declare -x PWD="/root" declare -x SHELL="/bin/bash" declare -x SHLVL="1" declare -x SSH_AUTH_SOCK="XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX" declare -x SSH_CLIENT="XXX.XXX.XXX.XXX XXXXX XXXXX" declare -x SSH_CONNECTION="XXX.XXX.XXX.XXX XXXXX XXX.XXX.XXX.XXX XXXXX" declare -x SSH_TTY="/dev/pts/2" declare -x TERM="xterm" declare -x USER="root" * What exactly did you do (or not do) that was effective (or ineffective)? I ran apt-get update, encountered the error, ran it again, error seems to be gone. Running it again, error is back, and again, error is gone. etc. etc. So far, every odd-numbered attempt fails, every even-numbered attempt works. * What was the outcome of this action? # Here's the result of every odd-numbered attempt: apt-get update Hit http://ftp.lihas.de stable Release.gpg Hit http://snapshot.debian.org wheezy/updates Release.gpg Hit http://ftp.lihas.de stable Release Ign http://snapshot.debian.org wheezy/updates Release Ign http://snapshot.debian.org wheezy/updates/main amd64 Packages/DiffIndex Hit http://ftp.lihas.de stable/main amd64 Packages Ign http://snapshot.debian.org wheezy/updates/contrib amd64 Packages/DiffIndex Ign http://snapshot.debian.org wheezy/updates/non-free amd64 Packages/DiffIndex Hit http://snapshot.debian.org wheezy/updates/contrib Translation-en Ign http://ftp.lihas.de stable/main Translation-en Hit http://snapshot.debian.org wheezy/updates/main Translation-en Hit http://snapshot.debian.org wheezy/updates/non-free Translation-en Hit http://snapshot.debian.org wheezy/updates/contrib amd64 Packages Hit http://snapshot.debian.org wheezy/updates/non-free amd64 Packages Err http://snapshot.debian.org wheezy/updates/main amd64 Packages Err http://snapshot.debian.org wheezy/updates/main amd64 Packages Err http://snapshot.debian.org wheezy/updates/main amd64 Packages Err http://snapshot.debian.org wheezy/updates/main amd64 Packages 404 Not Found [IP: 185.17.185.187 80] W: Failed to fetch http://snapshot.debian.org/archive/debian-security/20141015T190511Z/dists/wheezy/updates/main/binary-amd64/Packages 404 Not Found [IP: 185.17.185.187 80] E: Some index files failed to download.
