Indeed it must have been a narrow window -- I had tried about 5 minutes prior to my original post.

Thanks, I know my way around Aptitude. I was just querying about the number of updates on a system that's updated daily. It seems that I got in on a very brief window; maybe when some hardware was brought up temporaily (who knows) and it's a false reading. Thought maybe that testing had gone to stable, yadda, yadda. -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-user-REQUEST(a)lists.debian.org with a subject of "unsubscribe". Trouble?

Yet then people wondered why there was no message sent to the user-list, as users also depend on that server. Gradually, this continued to wondering when the server will come online again. Sjoerd |
