Package: approx Version: 5.1-1 Severity: normal Approx failed to download a file because the remote mirror was down. After I switched to another mirror, I got this error from apt-get:

After removing the zero-length file, the download and installation went on without trouble. I gues the problem would fix itself after $interval expired, but I'm not sure this is the desired behaviour... -- System Information: Debian Release: 6.0.3 APT prefers stable-updates APT policy: (500, 'stable-updates'), (500, 'stable'), (400, 'testing'), (300, 'unstable') Architecture: i386 (i686) Kernel: Linux 3.1.0-1-686-pae (SMP w/2 CPU cores) Locale: LANG=en_US.UTF-8, LC_CTYPE=en_US.UTF-8 (charmap=UTF-8) Shell: /bin/sh linked to /bin/dash Versions of packages approx depends on: ii adduser 3.112+nmu2 add and remove users and groups ii curl 7.21.0-2 Get a file from an HTTP, HTTPS or ii debconf [debconf-2.0] 1.5.36.1 Debian configuration management sy ii libc6 2.13-21 Embedded GNU C Library: Shared lib ii libpcre3 8.12-4 Perl 5 Compatible Regular Expressi ii openbsd-inetd [inet-s 0.20080125-6 The OpenBSD Internet Superserver ii update-inetd 4.38+nmu1+squeeze1 inetd configuration file updater approx recommends no packages.
