Hello? This is still happening.

A listing of http://fi.archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/dists/gutsy-proposed/
reveals that this directory exists, but lacks a Contents-i386.gz file,
which is what apt-file tries to download. Ditto for gutsy-security and
gutsy-updates; the regular gutsy directory is fine, though. (There
would need to be a Contents-amd64.gz etc for the other architectures,
too.)

The server redirects to
http://www.nic.funet.fi/status/www.nic.funet.fi.file_not_found.html for
the missing files.

Funet maintainer: This is the URL of an Ubuntu bug about this issue.
This message is a follow-up to the original bug report. I am the

If this were a real .signature, it would suck less. Well, maybe not.

For what it's worth, I tried to Cc: the Funet mirror maintainers, but apparently had the wrong address. The mirrors page https://launchpad.net/ubuntu/+mirror/nic.funet.fi doesn't have a good email address, but just now, I contacted the guy who registered the mirror, as well as the Funet mirroring admins. Let's see what comes of that.

I got this reply:

Duh; closing as invalid.

Filing a separate bug about the real issue
