I had already reported it as 787724 and that time it was told it was a temporary mirror issue, but now this issue has been persisting for about almost a week. I also tried the option which was shared at that bug and this is the result when I tried at my end :- ─[$] sudo apt-get update -o Debug::Acquire::http=1 [20:11:12] 0% [Connecting to httpredir.debian.org]GET /debian/dists/testing/InRelease HTTP/1.1 Host: httpredir.debian.org Cache-Control: max-age=0 Accept: text/* User-Agent: Debian APT-HTTP/1.3 (1.1.3) Answer for: http://httpredir.debian.org/debian/dists/testing/InRelease HTTP/1.1 200 OK Content-Length: 244 Connection: close Cache-Control: no-cache Expires: -1 Content-Type: text/html Get:1 http://httpredir.debian.org/debian testing InRelease [244 B] Err:1 http://httpredir.debian.org/debian testing InRelease Clearsigned file isn't valid, got 'NOSPLIT' (does the network require authentication?) 0% [Working]GET /debian/dists/unstable/InRelease HTTP/1.1 Host: httpredir.debian.org Cache-Control: max-age=0 Accept: text/* User-Agent: Debian APT-HTTP/1.3 (1.1.3) Answer for: http://httpredir.debian.org/debian/dists/unstable/InRelease HTTP/1.1 200 OK Content-Length: 244 Connection: close Cache-Control: no-cache Expires: -1 Content-Type: text/html Get:2 http://httpredir.debian.org/debian unstable InRelease [244 B] Err:2 http://httpredir.debian.org/debian unstable InRelease Clearsigned file isn't valid, got 'NOSPLIT' (does the network require authentication?) 0% [Connecting to httpredir.debian.org (176.9.184.93)]GET /debian/dists/experimental/InRelease HTTP/1.1 Host: httpredir.debian.org Cache-Control: max-age=0 Accept: text/* User-Agent: Debian APT-HTTP/1.3 (1.1.3) Answer for: http://httpredir.debian.org/debian/dists/experimental/InRelease HTTP/1.1 200 OK Content-Length: 244 Connection: close Cache-Control: no-cache Expires: -1 Content-Type: text/html Get:3 http://httpredir.debian.org/debian experimental InRelease [244 B] Err:3 http://httpredir.debian.org/debian experimental InRelease Clearsigned file isn't valid, got 'NOSPLIT' (does the network require authentication?)
