apt not supporting 301 responses?
Package: apt
Version: 0.5.4
Severity: important
Recently, ftp.kernel.org moved their mirror of Debian to a new
machine, mirrors.kernel.org. They did the right thing and respond
with a status of 301 (permanently moved) when you request any url
under http://ftp.kernel.org/debian (or http://www.kernel.org/debian).
The problem is that apt doesn't handle 301 status and complains that
it can't find the necessary Package files. Obviously, I can edit
sources.list to point to the new localtion but I'm rather suprised
that apt is not performing the second request in response to the 301
status.
