Package: other 
Severity: important

Dear Maintainer,

I am no longer able to use Jessie-backports to retrieve arm64 packages.

With 'deb http://ftp.debian.org/debian jessie-backports main' in my 
sources.list, I get the following trace, tested on multiple computers and in 
this case using docker:

The expected outcome, as seen in older logs building the same docker image, is 
that it just works.

I don't know when it broke, but probably around this week or month. I really 
need the backports to install ffmpeg:arm64. Thanks in advance.
