[SOLVED] Broken apt servers? ftp.se.debian.org

[AlexLup]

Had these in my /etc/apt/sources.list

deb http://ftp.se.debian.org/debian bookworm main contrib
deb http://ftp.se.debian.org/debian bookworm-updates main contrib

Got

root@pve22-31-cephzfs:~# apt-get install -f net-tools
Reading package lists... Done
Building dependency tree... Done
Reading state information... Done
E: Unable to locate package net-tools

Had to change to

deb http://ftp.debian.org/debian bookworm main contrib
deb http://ftp.debian.org/debian bookworm-updates main contrib

To make everything work. This is a new install, my 5th this week, from the ISO downloaded from proxmox not long ago. Not entirely sure its proxmoxs fault as it did work with the same ISO but putting it out there to save some time for people seeing issues like mine

PS. With VMWare going to a farm far far away, its Promox time to shine, and I LOVE IT! Linux on everyones machines FTW!! DS.

Hejsan!

This could be a problem on the mirror itself. It happen(d|s) sometimes.

If you install a lot of machines regularly, I can recommend to create your own local debian (and PVE) mirror.

This is in line with regular Debian installer, maybe PVE could default to using the main server in the installer?

I did think about getting my own mirror as I am up to ehh 9 total Proxmoxes now, thank you for the tip. And hejsan to you too gentle stranger
