apt-get update: nothing downloaded from a mirror
I had to clear the /var/lib/dpkg/available file (it is now empty).
I've done:
$ sudo apt-get update
Ign file: ./ InRelease
Ign file: ./ Release.gpg
Ign file: ./ Release
Ign file: ./ Translation-en

Reading package lists... Done
So, nothing has been downloaded and the /var/lib/dpkg/available file
is still empty. Nothing in the /var/lib/dpkg/updates directory either.
Is this a problem with the mirror or is there something else to do?
