Certain pages located at www.debian.org return a 403 Forbidden page when accessed. This includes
www.debian.org/security, and www.debian.org/distrib. The page shown is as follows:
<!DOCTYPE HTML PUBLIC "-//IETF//DTD HTML 2.0//EN">
<html><head>
<title>403 Forbidden</title>
</head><body>
<h1>Forbidden</h1>
<p>You don't have permission to access this resource.Server unable to read htaccess file, denying access to be safe</p>
<hr>
<address>Apache Server at www.debian.org Port 443</address>
</body></html>
I'm not sure if this effects other pages, these are just the two that I tried. I first found this problem
when I clicked on the link on the Debian homepage for the www.debian.org/distrib/packages ("...it comes with over 59000 *packages*...")
and I noticed that it also happened for www.debian.org/security when I clicked on the link for the DSA-4569 ghostscript security update
located under "Security Advisories". I would have expected the proper pages to load instead of this error page.
I don't know if there is maintenance going on or if you know about this problem (I'm sure you'll have noticed it soon enough),
but I thought I'd fill this out nonetheless.
Thank you,
Sebastian
