Raspbian apt mirror down? ('Failed to fetch raspbian.raspberrypi.org' during apt update)

[geerlingguy]

For the past 5 minutes or so, it seems http://raspbian.raspberrypi.org/raspbian has been down; I tried IPv6 and IPv4 from my house and neither is able to get a response. Downforeveryoneorjustme seems to agree: https://downforeveryoneorjustme.com/ras ... errypi.org

Specifically, I'm getting this error response when trying to update apt caches:

Code: Select all

pi@raspberrypi:~ $ sudo apt-get update

Err:2 http://raspbian.raspberrypi.org/raspbian buster InRelease

I was so close to finishing up a little automation

Maybe I'll have to find an alternate mirror, or just give up for the moment and get some dinner!

Yeah. It is down for both IPv4 and IPv6. Planned maintenance by the colo provider - "2020-08-04 21:00 - 2020-08-05 03:00 — Our Cambridge network will be at-risk while we replace a site router and migrate our transport to Amsterdam to be directly terminated into the new router. "

That isn't just a mirror though. 93.93.128.193 is the mirror director which is what sends you to the appropriate mirror so everything is down unless you manually set a mirror yourself...

In any case, it seems like it's back up now. Glad it was a short outage!

[trejan]

Yeah. Seems to be okay now. mirrordirector is back up. There is still 2-3 hours left on the maintenance window for tonight so do any updates/installs quickly in case it does go away again. I'm not sure if the times on their status page are in UTC or BST. Same 6 hour maintenance window again tomorrow night.

Those times will be UK local (BST).
