Hi, I've been getting an error over the past couple of days when trying to update the database

TASK ERROR: command 'apt-get update' failed: exit code 100

The output is

Hi,
please try and configure a different mirror, you can find them here https://www.debian.org/mirror/list

Also, please post your current mirror configuration, cat /etc/apt/sources.list /etc/apt/sources.list.d/*, your security update repo seems to be configured incorrectly.
