As archive.debian.org lives in US TTBOMK it doesn't carry the non-US part, and I'm not aware of any archive-non-US host ... But this exists: #v+ deb http://non-us.debian.org/debian-non-US woody-proposed-updates/non-US main contrib non-free #v- I guess non-us.d.o itself is the archive for the non-us parts anyway. > Also the usage of > deb http://ftp.us.debian.org/debian proposed-updates main contrib non-free > in hour site is bad as it refers now probably to Etch whereas it referred > in the past to Woody. We should use code names instead. Indeed - unfortunately I don't see any woody-proposed-updates on archive.debian.org? Were there none when woody got moved to the archive? I would guess even then it would be a good idea to have (empty) files there -- on the other hand people have to edit their sources.list anyway to use the archive. > Where are currently proposed updates for Woody?

If it was empty it gains nothing to list it, but if it wasn't (which I have no idea about - propably the people doing the move to the archive know?) it should get fixed. So long, Rhonda
