I saw random problems from my machines last night.  I think one of the
mirrors became out of sync.

> security	http://security.debian.org/debian-security

  $ host security.debian.org
  security.debian.org has address 149.20.20.6
  security.debian.org has address 128.101.240.212
  security.debian.org has address 128.61.240.73
  security.debian.org has address 128.31.0.36
  security.debian.org has IPv6 address 2607:ea00:101:3c0b:207:e9ff:fe00:e595
  security.debian.org has IPv6 address 2610:148:1f10:3::73
  security.debian.org has IPv6 address 2001:4f8:8:36::6

I think at least one of those mirrors was out of sync last night.
Which one?  No idea.  The signature error protects against chicanery
but apt doesn't know it could rotate to another mirror.

I didn't see the problem this morning while running a couple of the
failing systems manually.
