Bug#910639: apt: jessie-backports is broken on arm64
Package: apt
Version: 1.0.9.8.4
Severity: important
Dear Maintainer,
I am no longer able to use Jessie-backports to retrieve arm64 packages.
With 'deb http://ftp.debian.org/debian jessie-backports main' in my sources.list, I get the following trace, tested on multiple computers and in this case using docker:
> Step 2/24 : COPY build_tools/dockerfiles/sources.list /etc/apt/sources.list

The expected outcome, as seen in older logs building the same docker image, is that it just works.

I don't know when it broke, but probably around this week or month. I really need the backports to install ffmpeg:arm64. Thanks in advance.
