Simple workaround for now: /etc/apt/sources.list: ---- deb http://site1.ip.address/debian jessie-backports main #deb http://site2.ip.address/debian jessie-backports main ---- Now just change the comment from one to the other, run apt-get update and go. Second workaround, if you have lots of entries to be switched: create two sources.list files, named home.list and uni.list. When you move from place to place, copy the appropriate one in to /etc/apt/sources.list and run apt-get update. -dsr-
