Here is a partial snapshot of attempt: <snip> Ign http://ftp.us.debian.org testing/non-free Translation-en_US Hit http://ftp.us.debian.org testing Release Ign http://security.debian.org testing/updates/contrib Translation-en_US Ign http://security.debian.org testing/updates/non-free Translation-en_US Hit http://security.debian.org testing/updates Release Hit http://ftp.us.debian.org testing/main Packages/DiffIndex Get:6 http://ftp.debian-unofficial.org testing Release.gpg [189B] Ign http://ftp.debian-unofficial.org testing/main Translation-en_US Ign http://ftp.debian-unofficial.org testing/contrib Translation-en_US Ign http://ftp.debian-unofficial.org testing/non-free Translation-en_US Get:7 http://ftp.us.debian.org testing/contrib Packages/DiffIndex [2023B] Hit http://ftp.us.debian.org testing/non-free Packages/DiffIndex Ign http://security.debian.org testing/updates/main Packages/DiffIndex Get:8 http://ftp.us.debian.org testing/main Sources/DiffIndex [2038B] Get:9 http://ftp.us.debian.org testing/contrib Sources/DiffIndex [2023B] Hit http://ftp.us.debian.org testing/non-free Sources/DiffIndex Hit http://ftp.debian-unofficial.org testing Release Get:10 http://ftp.us.debian.org testing/main 2008-11-09-0844.08.pdiff [4735B] Ign http://security.debian.org testing/updates/contrib Packages/DiffIndex Ign http://security.debian.org testing/updates/non-free Packages/DiffIndex Err http://ftp.debian-unofficial.org testing Release Hit http://security.debian.org testing/updates/main Packages Hit http://security.debian.org testing/updates/contrib Packages Hit http://security.debian.org testing/updates/non-free Packages Get:11 http://ftp.debian-unofficial.org testing Release [14.1kB] Ign http://ftp.debian-unofficial.org testing Release Ign http://ftp.debian-unofficial.org testing/main Packages/DiffIndex Ign http://ftp.debian-unofficial.org testing/contrib Packages/DiffIndex Ign http://ftp.debian-unofficial.org testing/non-free Packages/DiffIndex Hit http://ftp.debian-unofficial.org testing/main Packages Hit http://ftp.debian-unofficial.org testing/contrib Packages Hit http://ftp.debian-unofficial.org testing/non-free Packages 99% [5 Packages gzip 0] Note that the last repository that appears before the final 99% line is variable.
