Dear Rawland,

thank you for your useful report. We know that there are still a few
glitches on the country-code based URLs (gb.deb.devuan.irg,
ie.deb.devuan.org, us.deb.devuan.org, and so on). We working at
solving that.

In the meanwhile, it is sensible to use either:

deb.devuan.org (a pool of 9-11 mirrors continuosly checked)

or

pkgmaster.devuan.org

The latter supports also https.
