Hi David,

There is still something wrong with my /etc/apt/sources.list

Perhaps caused by stretch reaching end of life on 30 June 2022.

Can somebody provide me with a tested list of mirrors for stretch working in Sep 2022 for apt-cacher-ng server and clients?

I've tried several different sets getting no errors from "apt update" on the server (which has internet connectivity).

Every time I repeat this list in /etc/apt/sources.list on a client replacing FQDN (e.g. deb.debian.org or security.debian.org) with my server's IP and port (192.168.100.1:3142) I get DNS errors for security mirror as below:

Err:5 http://192.168.100.1:3142/debian-security stretch/updates Release
503 DNS error for hostname debian-security: Name or service not known. If debian-security refers to a configured cache repository, please check the corresponding configuration file.

or

503  DNS error for hostname security: No address associated with hostname.

Perhaps /etc/apt-cacher-ng/acng.conf on the server needs amending as well?

I've found a line there that reads:

Remap-debrep: file:deb_mirror*.gz /debian ; file:backends_debian # Debian Archives

Regards,
Adam
