[SOLVED] Qemu fails to install

Using fully updated Excalibur, with the usual sources.list, and only systemd and
nouveau blacklisted, I tried to install Qemu.  I selected qwmu-system-x86, and the
install failed with the following output:

W: Failed to fetch http://deb.debian.org/debian/pool/main/ … _amd64.deb
  404  Not Found [IP: 140.248.154.132 80]

W: Failed to fetch http://deb.debian.org/debian/pool/main/ … _amd64.deb

W: Failed to fetch http://deb.debian.org/debian/pool/main/ … _amd64.deb
  404  Not Found [IP: 140.248.154.132 80]

I waited a few minutes, and retried; then tried again the next morning. 

As an aside, I had a similar problem installing fldigi, which I solved by downloading
the updated files from debian.

Can someone give me some steerage on what is going wrong?  Perhaps something related
to the "weak encryption" bug? 

Regards,
Bob

Re: [SOLVED] Qemu fails to install

There is a known problem when using the default Devuan mirror with certain ISPs or DNS configurations. Try picking a different one instead:

Re: [SOLVED] Qemu fails to install

Thank you for replying.  I have been using the round-robin repos weekly since the chimaera
days and have not had any problem aside from the odd short term "not available". A reload
in synaptic solves that.  My isp and my dns server has not changed for years.  That said,
I will try again using pkgmaster repo today.

Regards,
Bob

If you're in the US, gnlug works really well.

Re: [SOLVED] Qemu fails to install

Well now, this is very odd.  I changed the sources.list to pkgmaster repo; ran synaptic; hit update,
and a whole load of updates showed up.  Hmmmm, so I shut down synaptic without apply updates.  I then
changed the sources.list back to the one I have been using for eons.  Rebooted for good measure, and
then ran synaptic again, hit update, and the same big list of pending updates showed up.

I then did the install of qemu-system-x86, and it worked this time. 

So now, I wonder what was going on?  Never-the-less, I will mark this as solved, but will continue
to wonder.
