Package: ftp.debian.org Severity: grave Justification: renders package unusable
Due to recent policy and routing changes on the New Zealand network ftp.nz.debian.org is no longer accessable to the majority of NZ internet users. Citylink, the company that maintains the mirror have had a policy in place for some time which requires ISPs to peer at the Wellington Internet eXchange in order for their customers to access the ftp site. Since yesterday, Feb 24th at 11am (due to peering policy changes at the two major nz carriers) the ftp site became inaccessable from the majority of NZ debian users. Error message is as follows: sh-2.04$ ftp ftp.nz.debian.org Connected to ftp.citylink.co.nz. 550- ISP Routing Error 550- 550- Sadly, we can no longer afford to provide this content to 550- entities that do not peer at WIX. Please contact your ISP 550- and advise them that they may well be able to fix this problem 550- for you by peering with other ISPs at the WIX peering points. 550- 550- For further information, please see <http://nzix.net/peerless/ftp>. 550- 550- We apologise for any inconvenience. 550 ftp> -- System Information: Debian Release: 3.1 APT prefers testing APT policy: (500, 'testing') Architecture: i386 (i686) Kernel: Linux 2.4.27 Locale: LANG=en_NZ, LC_CTYPE=en_NZ (charmap=ISO-8859-1) -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe".
