us mirror strange state
if I use ftp.de.debian... for unstable
package mirror with clean/update/upgrade
apt-get reports nothing to upgrade
if I use ftp.us.debian ... for unstable
package mirror with same sequence
apt-get reports quite a few files to
upgrade --- many of which are then
not found on the site ... ???
if I then switch back to de
mirror I go back to apt-get reporting
nothing to upgrade.
is it possible that the ftp.us.debian
site is broken with their package lists
not accurately reflected in what they
actually have on hand? Or do I need
to thrash some exotic dpkg command to
flush my database, rebuild it, and start
over from scratch?
Note that some mirrors I've tried work
like the de mirror and files listed as
being at the site actually are, and other
mirrors act like the us mirror where files
listed as available in some listing file
are not found when a GET is attempted.
(HELP!)
Thanks,
Heitzso
