Greetings: I've been seeing 'apt update' failures since yesterday:

There is no HTTP proxy involved, and none configured in /etc/apt/* 2. The versions of Debian involved are 8, 9, and 10. 3. There are multiple networks and DNS servers involved. 4. Emptying /var/lib/apt/lists/ changes nothing. 5. Changing the mirror to two of those suggested by netselect-apt changes only the names/IP addresses in the error messages. 6. One of the hosts is a brand new machine, just built, and with only an untwiddled base install of 10.1 for AMD64. I'm stumped. Can anyone tell me if this is something that I can fix, and how I might go about it? -- Art Sackett http://www.artsackett.com/
