Hmm. Googling 'cdn.debian.net' turns up http://http.debian.net which states If you are familiar with cdn.debian.net you should think of http.debian.net as a superior replacement. In fact, if I try to access http://http.debian.net/debian/, I am correctly redirected to a mirror (I had tried without the trailing slash before, which did *not* work). So, the value *does* seem to be correct, and I must wonder what kind of problems the OP might have encountered (broken mirror?). I did not try debootstrapping wheezy with the setting right now, but there *was* a wheezy update released on Saturday, so mirror inconsistency seems a possible explanation. I recommend trying again :). Regards, Holger
