Re: apt-get problems

[A J Stiles <deb64@earthshod.co.uk>]

Has something happened to some of the mirrors?

I have this for my /etc/apt/sources.list:

# Germany
deb http://ftp.de.debian.org/debian-amd64/pure64 sid main
deb-src http://ftp.de.debian.org/debian-amd64/pure64 sid main

and I'm getting

Err http://ftp.de.debian.org sid/main Packages
  404 Not Found
Ign http://ftp.de.debian.org sid/main Release
Err http://ftp.de.debian.org sid/main Sources
  404 Not Found

W: You may want to run apt-get update to correct these problems
E: Some index files failed to download, they have been ignored, or old ones 
used instead.

when I try to use apt-get update.

The thing is .....  I now have quite a few packages on my system which have 
gone out-of-date.  Where is a good UK or European mirror to get them from?
