Thanks Richard and Ben,
I didn't know if there was a problem with my sources.list or "a" apt
repositiory. :-) I always have problems with definitive articles, but that's
a story for another time.
It seems that it was a combination of the two. My entries for
mirrors.mathematik and uni-erlangen.de were lacking a few entries.
I just went on to the mathematik server and it seems it's a full mirror not
the limited mirror that i thought it was. Since mathematik and ftp.gwdg.de
are identical this brings a few questions to mind.
Are the mirrors designed to speed up the downloads, by allowing packages to be
downloaded from three servers at one time, rather than waiting for the
ftp.gwdg.de server for every package? Or is it more for redundancy, like in
this situation where I should have disabled ftp.gwdg.de in settings >
repositories and been able to continue my downloading?
Also does the order that the repositories are listed in sources.list matter?
or does synaptic / apt choose the fastest server, just take turns between the
servers, or simply use the first server in the list for the majority of the
packages?
TIA
