Repo mirrors inconsistent? [Solved]

[Sigi]

Hello, during last days, I made updates and upgrades on some systems. For this I use normally:

Code: Select all

sudo apt update && sudo apt dist-upgrade  -y

Yesterday and today I could not update from my "default" repo location in switzerland. Could it be, that some mirrors are not synchronized yet?

Which repos are the most stable and reliable? Thx.

https://mx-linux.ethz.ch/mx-packages (my default)

Code: Select all

$ sudo apt update && sudo apt dist-upgrade  -y

I've been seeing this issue a lot recently and even 404 not founds on various repos which used to be real stable.

From mx repo manager, search "mxrepo" and use any of them closest to you.
