Dear list, since 5 days I did not get any new list of packages from debian.tu-bs.de. So today I investigated this issue and found [1] and [2], which shows that the mirror has not been update since July 16th. As a workaround I added ftp.de.debian.org to my sources list. My questions are the following. 1. Is there a feature in apt (aptitude/apt-get) which notifies the user, if a the respective mirror has not been updated for some time? Would it be useful to file a wishlist bug? 2. Is there a protocol a user should follow, if he notices, that a mirror has not been updated? Is there a special list or a standard e-mail-address to contact? 3. Is this written down somewhere, e. g. wiki.debian.org? 4. To avoid such scenarios, is it recommended to have always to package mirrors listed in sources.list? Thanks a lot, Paul PS: Please CC me, as I am not subscribed to this list.
