I think this one is fixed with this change:
http://bazaar.launchpad.net/~mvo/apt/mvo/revision/1787
I will try to test that later.

Michael did an upload two days ago for ubuntu including that change
(and another bugfix). (I think they have a working mirror file finally…)

The fix should be coming to unstable after the weekend…

Thanks for giving mirror a spin!


Best regards
