Description
When using the following sources:
deb http://nginx.org/packages/debian/ wheezy nginx deb-src http://nginx.org/packages/debian/ wheezy nginx
and using the following commands:
sudo aptitude clean sudo aptitude update
I get the following errors:
Error http://nginx.org wheezy/nginx Sources 404 Not Found [...] E: Failed to fetch http://nginx.org/packages/debian/dists/wheezy/nginx/source/Sources : 404 Not Found
The binary package seems to update OK, but the sources one seems to fail.
I noticed the error during the nginx.conf already (when installing nginx during the training sessions) but I thought that was a local problem.
You might want to check if something has been broken in the package system last week.

It seemed strange indeed.
It may be related to the recent update of apt pushed for Debian-related systems.
I had no strange leftovers in the APT cache, but the index would not stop to fail to being rebuilt.
I actually managed to fix that by removing/adding again sources stanza for nginx and cleaning/updating the cache in between.
Well, if anyone gets this strange error, know you know where it came from... ;o)

apt-get source nginxinstalls nginx sources quite well on deb7. There is nohttp://nginx.org/packages/debian/dists/wheezy/nginx/source/Sourcesfile actually, but there is gzipped versionhttp://nginx.org/packages/debian/dists/wheezy/nginx/source/Sources.gzand apt-get does install it with default settings. Please check apt configs on your side.
