Release file for is expired


Hello,

for "apt-get update", I get the message

E: Release file for http://ftp3.nrc.ca/debian/dists/testing/InRelease is expired (invalid since 11d 7h 58min 59s). Updates for this repository will not be applied.

Is it the problem with the repository and I should wait ? Should I change for another repository ? Does it happen often ?

Thanks

I have never seen that error before! It does look like a repository issue to me, at first glance.

Try switching to bellini.debian.org in /etc/apt/sources.list, run an apt-get update, and see if that fixes it.

Yes, for now, I commented all lines with http://ftp3.nrc.ca, and it works with other repositories.

All you can do in such cases is switch to another mirror, as you have done. Check it again in a few days to see if it's been resolved.
