That counts for 100% of people trying. On the other hand, I see no good reason for more than a handful of people wanting to go this upgrade path now. Most people seem to reinstall Skolelinux with new releases, and updates to wheezy should have happened quite a while ago. Still, would we want to keep the broken file for any outcome of this? I consider this issue quite important, although it should not affect many people right now. There are two ways to go: * If people shall be able to install Debian Edu wheezy, then the file should be fixed asap. * If we do not care about Debian Edu wheezy anymore, then ftp.skolelinux.org should be shut down altogether. I do not think there's anything between these two things. > > Also, *if* apt doesnt complain… Then we are doomed anyway and probably every single system ever having used apt to install software should be reinstalled.
