I can reproduce this by installing apt-spy in a clean chroot and running apt-spy twice: # apt-spy -d jessie Creating mirror file: /var/cache/apt/mirrors.txt Updating... Grabbing file http://http.us.debian.org/debian/README.mirrors.txt... Error: 22: The requested URL returned error: 404 Not Found Failed to download mirror list. Exiting. # apt-spy -d jessie Couldn't find country AT . Skipping. ... Couldn't find country ZA . Skipping. Writing new sources.list file: /etc/apt/sources.list.d/apt-spy.list It doesn't seem to have error handling for the "404 Not Found", and creates an empty mirrors.txt. The empty mirrors.txt created on the first pass is then used on the second pass to create a broken /etc/apt/sources.list.d/apt-spy.list file. > Also, it fails to update the mirror list due the the lack of > http://http.us.debian.org/debian/README.mirrors.txt I think this is the main source of the problem. It seems that the mirrors no longer include README.mirrors.txt, and apt-spy needs to be patched to parse https://www.debian.org/mirror/list, which is in html format. Not sure how invasive that will be. FWIW, apt-spy hasn't been uploaded or had a commit in git 3 years... live well, vagrant
