Bug#941903: snapshot.debian.org: 404 error for one snapshot.debian.org IP address but not for the other
Package: snapshot.debian.org
Severity: important
Dear Maintainer,
When trying to fetch package lists and packages from the buster/updates repository I get 404 errors at random, depending on which IP address of snapshot.debian.org my machine chooses for each request. Requests that go to 193.62.202.27 succeed, while requests that go to 185.17.185.185 fail with 404 errors.
I can reproduce the problem by running the following command a few times until it picks 185.17.185.185 as the IP address:
$ wget http://snapshot.debian.org/archive/debian-security/20191003T112231Z/dists/buster/updates/Release
Shift-reloading the URL in Firefox will also evenually cause a 404, which shows the following error:
"""
Not Found
The requested URL /file/02424f70567c5695ef02c2410dd9bca446a86437 was not found on this server.
Apache Server at snapshot.debian.org Port 80
"""
Thanks for providing the snapshot.debian.org service. It's very useful for my project as it allows us to build reproducible Docker images for reproducibly building other software.
Best regards,
Michael
