You copied this from the NewInBuster wiki most likely. That's where I
put it, when I ran into this issue two years ago, and documented it
there. It's even the same mirror that I use (which is no longer the
default, hence it standing out).
The issue did not happen this time around. Instead of getting an "E:"
line (error), you only get a bunch of N: (warning) lines.
You're trying to solve a problem that doesn't actually exist any more.
