Repository Problem?


This is the first few lines of my sources.list:

Code:
# deb http://ftp3.nrc.ca/debian/ wheezy main

deb http://ftp3.nrc.ca/debian/ wheezy main
deb-src http://ftp3.nrc.ca/debian/ wheezy main

deb http://security.debian.org/ wheezy/updates main
deb-src http://security.debian.org/ wheezy/updates main
When up update I get this:

Code:
gl# apt-get update

Hit http://ftp3.nrc.ca wheezy InRelease
E: Release file for http://ftp3.nrc.ca/debian/dists/wheezy/InRelease is expired (invalid since 6d 3h 54min 3s). Updates for this repository will not be applied.

gl#
Do I need to choose a different source?

If so which is best?

Thanks,
JP

My source list works well for me.

Code:
deb http://debian.osuosl.org/debian/ squeeze main contrib non-free
deb-src http://debian.osuosl.org/debian/ squeeze main contrib non-free

deb http://security.debian.org/ squeeze/updates main
deb-src http://security.debian.org/ squeeze/updates main

# squeeze-updates, previously known as 'volatile'
deb http://debian.osuosl.org/debian/ squeeze-updates main
deb-src http://debian.osuosl.org/debian/ squeeze-updates main
deb http://backports.debian.org/debian-backports squeeze-backports main

I've contacted them about this. The issue is that they appears to have removed the IPv4 address and are solely using IPv6 but have not reflected this in DNS:

Hello,

I am having difficulty using any Debian based distribution as one of my main mirrors is ftp3.nrc.ca which appears to be IPv6-only. Could you please update DNS to reflect this so that timeouts do not occur on IPv4-only hosts?

root@voiplab:~# dig +noall +answer ftp3.nrc.ca
ftp3.nrc.ca. 86200 IN A 132.246.2.23
root@voiplab:~# dig +noall +answer -t AAAA ftp3.nrc.ca
ftp3.nrc.ca. 86193 IN AAAA 2604:8400:0:2::5

root@voiplab:~# apt-get install dahdi
