[solved] Apt-get using strange mirror

[cchip]

Hello,

I just run "apt-get install thunderbird" on a freshly installed Stretch and got a strange mirror in the output:

Code: Select all

The following additional packages will be installed:

I haven't configured gemmei.ftp.acc.umu.se anywhere. Where does it come from and why did apt-get use it?

This is my sources.list:

A quick google of that web address makes me think it is a repository (or archive) for the non-free loaded iso and if that is the version you used to install that would explain why it is using it.
You could also check any files in /etc/apt/sources.list.d/ to see if they contain the repository in question and if you wanted to could remove it to prevent it being used again (at your own risk of course )

http://ftp.fi.debian.org/debian is currently being redirected to http://ftp.acc.umu.se/debian

And "gemmei.ftp.acc.umu.se" is one of the offloaders of "ftp.acc.umu.se"

That explains it.

Thank you.
