This is the second time that I've wanted to run an upgrade on my RPi at about this time, around 18:00-19:00 on Friday: the previous failure was a week ago.
Have any of you seen this previously?
Attempts to retrieve .deb files only result in multiple failures (14) of in 'apt-get upgrade' this time as it tried to fetch nine .deb files.
Each of these gets an HTTP 302 response (this is a redirect) and all are associated with IP 93.93.128.193 port 80 which curl can't access and 'host' can't resolve, returning error 3(NXDOMAIN). According to 'whois' this IP is part of the Mythic Beasts Primary Address block.
It seems that Mythic Beasts are hosting the Raspbian package collection - just not very well seeing that their servers are falling over.
