Debian - Failed to fetch nginx source package

Reported by: https://stackoverflow.com/users/573152/bernard-rosset Owned by:
Priority: major Milestone:
Component: nginx-package Version: 1.6.x
Keywords: Debian Wheezy Cc:
uname -a: Linux 3.16-0.bpo.2-amd64 #1 SMP Debian 3.16.3-2~bpo70+1 (2014-09-21) x86_64 GNU/Linux
nginx -V: nginx version: nginx/1.6.2
built by gcc 4.7.2 (Debian 4.7.2-5)

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.

apt-get source nginx installs nginx sources quite well on deb7. There is no http://nginx.org/packages/debian/dists/wheezy/nginx/source/Sources file actually, but there is gzipped version http://nginx.org/packages/debian/dists/wheezy/nginx/source/Sources.gz and apt-get does install it with default settings. Please check apt configs on your side.

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)
