Actually, httpredir.debian.org is unmaintained and all it does is to redirect to deb.debian.org. What he does miss is / after debian. So it looks like this: deb http://deb.debian.org/debian/ stretch main contrib non-free deb-src http://deb.debian.org/debian/ stretch main contrib non-free deb http://deb.debian.org/debian/ stretch-updates main contrib non-free deb-src http://deb.debian.org/debian/ stretch-updates main contrib non-free > raju > -- > Kamaraju S Kusumanchi | http://raju.shoutwiki.com/wiki/Blog >
