  Errors documented by the console log from the other attempts have the
same error message:


Aug 24 01:54:57 choose-mirror[31759]: DEBUG: command: wget -q
http://us.mirror.devuan.org/merged/dists/stable/Release -O - | grep -E
'^(Suite|Codename|Architectures):'
Aug 24 01:54:58 choose-mirror[31759]: WARNING _: broken mirror: invalid
Suite or Codename in Release file for stable

  The command does work for me:

wget -q http://us.mirror.devuan.org/merged/dists/stable/Release -O - |
grep -E '^(Suite|Codename|Architectures):'
Suite: testing
Codename: ascii
Architectures: alpha amd64 arm64 armel armhf hppa i386 ia64 mips mipsel
powerpc ppc64el s390x sparc


  Why is Jessie stable/Release labeled a "testing" suite?
