Bug#798989: Files seem to appear and disappear

[Chris Lamb <lamby@debian.org>]

Package: snapshot.debian.org

Hi,

I'm seeing this odd behaviour:

$ while :; do curl -qs
http://snapshot.debian.org/archive/debian/20150914T153145Z/pool/main/r/redis/redis_3.0.4-3.dsc
| grep -qs '404 Not Found' && echo 200 || echo 404; done

404
200
404
404
200
200
404
200
404

404
200
404
200
404
200
404
200
404
200
^C%

curl -I for a success is:

  HTTP/1.1 200 OK
  Date: Mon, 14 Sep 2015 18:09:30 GMT
  Server: Apache

curl -I for a 404 is:

  HTTP/1.1 404 Not Found
  Date: Mon, 14 Sep 2015 18:14:33 GMT
  Server: Apache
  Expires: Mon, 14 Sep 2015 18:24:33 GMT
  Cache-Control: max-age=600, public
  Content-Length: 1848

  Content-Type: text/html; charset=utf-8

These files are quite new to the archive (~6h?) at the time of writing.
(Load-balancer related?)
