Hi, are the excalibur servers down or do I have some problem myself?

Thanks

Change your sources to use http://deb.devuan.org/merged, i.e. /merged and not /devuan ... see https://www.devuan.org for details.

Re: [SOLVED] repo excalibur down?

Seems your DNS is playing up. First try ping -n deb.devuan.org and second try traceroute -n deb.devuan.org. Does that give anything?

Btw. use code blocks for code (and console output); not quote blocks.

[I partially solved it by adding in /etc/apt/sources.list URIs:
http://ch.deb.devuan.org/merged/

sudo apt update

Re: [SOLVED] repo excalibur down?

Oh, once again:
Many ISP's DNS-servers can't cope with these "round-robin" structures of repo-servers.
The solution was always to prepend the address deb.devuan.org with the country-code of your nearest repo-mirror, as in your case ch.deb.devuan.org.
I don't know what component in ISP's infrastructure is the culprit. But when using your own properly set up BIND/DNS server the problem doesn't occur.
Test by using ping before modifying your sources.list.
There are some threads on this topic in the forum already
