Hi,
It seems that since about 0500Z today the Debian mirror CDN at
deb.debian.org has been rejecting requests from our apt-cacher with a
message like:
E: Failed to fetch
http://apt-cacher.lon.bitfolk.com/debian/deb.debian.org/debian/dists/bullse…
421 Misdirected Request [IP: 2001:ba8:1f1:f079::2 80]
I am looking into this. I don't know what is wrong yet. If you are
urently needing to uodate or install new packages just disable use of
BitFolk;s apt0cacher by removing "apt-cacher.lon.bitfolk.com/debian/"
from every line of your sources.list file(s).
I suspect some unfortunate interaction between Debian CDN (Fastly?) and
apt-cacher, as other mirrors are still working fine through our
apt-cacher.
Thanks,
Andy

The BitFolk aptcacher VMs are pretty ancient. I've quickly deployed a
new one with an up to date version of apt-cacher-ng and the problem
doesn't manifest, so this seems like a simple fix.
I assume that Fastly have done something with their configuration that
older versions of acng can't handle.
This will probably remain broken for the rest of today as I need to
deploy these properly.
Again, should you particularly urgently need to do package
updates/upgrades you can edit your sources to remove the literal string
"apt-cacher.lon.bitfolk.com/debian/" from each line. That leaves you
talking directly to deb.debian.org.
Thanks,
Andy

It seems that Fastly reverted whatever change they made by later
Thursday night, just as I was about to deploy the first of the newer
aptcacher VMs that work despite their change.
I slacked off a little then as it didn't seem so urgent, but I did go
ahead and replace all of our aged aptcacher VMs with new ones just in
case any mirror should do this again. That's complete now.
Thanks,
Andy
