[SOLVED] Is the Devuan repository is down ?

Hi,

a apt install nfs-kernel-server

returned

Err:1 http://deb.devuan.org/merged daedalus/main amd64 nfs-kernel-server amd64 1:2.6.2-4
  404  Not Found [IP: 151.101.130.132 80]
E: Failed to fetch http://deb.debian.org/debian/pool/main/n/nfs-utils/nfs-kernel-server_2.6.2-4_amd64.deb  404  Not Found [IP: 151.101.130.132 80]
E: Unable to fetch some archives, maybe run apt-get update or try with --fix-missing?

Thanks.

I would try it again later.  One of the round-robin dns locations may not be online for some reason.

If this happens more often, you may want to replace the deb.devuan.org name with the actual name of one of the actual mirror repositories.

Hi.

This is keeping up now for over a month. Maybe somebody could update the list....

Thanks for all the work, YPl.

To repeat myself,

you may want to replace the deb.devuan.org name with the actual name of one of the actual mirror repositories

I did this because I started having some dns resolving issues on my home network.  It "probably" has something to do with me using the "unbound" dns resolver package instead of the default DNS from my internet service provider.  I am pleased with this result but after changing the repo line in my sources.list file to an actual repo location, my apt updates has worked flawless.

Re: [SOLVED] Is the Devuan repository is down ?

Exactly,
the same old problem with the resolution of these "round-robin" DNS names resurfaces again and again.
I had to switch from my old, trusty own DNS named server (BIND) to the typical service-provider setup and that made me unhappy again.
The only solution was and is to replace "deb.devuan.org" with somewhat "XY.deb.devuan.org" in the /etc/apt/sources.list file, replacing the XY with the nearest mirror-country-code.
I don't know what HPFM is behind all these silly ISPs.
I'm not good enough to know how the Devuan community could set up a /etc/apt/sources.list file that would remedy the situation for once and ever.
