Subject: bug#310: Removal of jessie-backports from debian mirrors

Package: aptitude
Version: 0.6.11-1+b1

Since 20 March jessie repositories (except LTS) have been removed from the official debian mirrors and are now archived at archive.debian.org, see following mailing list post

https://lists.debian.org/debian-devel-announce/2019/03/msg00006.html

The result is that all Devuan packages from http://auto.mirror.devuan.org/merged jessie-backports have disappeared.

On a pure debian jessie installation it is possible to move to http://archive.debian.org/debian/ jessie-backports and skip the expiration check by

aptitude -o Acquire::Check-Valid-Until=0

Is it possible to do the same thing for devuan jessie? Or, even better, somehow link http://auto.mirror.devuan.org/merged to http://archive.debian.org/debian for jessie packages?

archive.devuan.org has been running for a while.

Closing.
