Dal 1 novembre prossimo, non saranno più disponibili i server con
protocollo FTP per il repository di Debian.
Se il vostro file /etc/apt/sources.list fa riferimento ai server FTP,
va corretto per far riferimento ai server HTTP.
Non occorre cambiare i nomi dei server, ma solo il protocollo
Per esempio la riga:
deb ftp://ftp.it.debian.org/debian/ stretch main non-free contrib
andrebbe cambiata con
deb http://ftp.it.debian.org/debian/ stretch main non-free contrib
Per la maggior parte degli utilizzatori di Debian non ci dovrebbero
essere problemi, in quanto i repositori puntano già ai server con
protocollo HTTP.
Ciao.

Shutting down public FTP services press@xxxxxxxxxx
April 25th, 2017 https://www.debian.org/News/2017/20170425
------------------------------------------------------------------------
After many years of serving the needs of our users, and some more of
declining usage in favor of better options, all public-facing debian.org
FTP services will be shut down on November 1, 2017. These are:
* ftp://ftp.debian.org
* ftp://security.debian.org
This decision is driven by the following considerations:
* FTP servers have no support for caching or acceleration.
* Most software implementations have stagnated and are awkward to use
and configure.
* Usage of the FTP servers is pretty low as our own installer has not
offered FTP as a way to access mirrors for over ten years.
* The protocol is inefficient and requires adding awkward kludges to
firewalls and load-balancing daemons.
Information for users
---------------------
The DNS names ftp.debian.org and ftp.<CC>.debian.org will remain the
same. The mirrors should just be accessed using HTTP instead:
* http://ftp.debian.org
* http://security.debian.org
Information for developers
--------------------------
Our developer services will not be affected. These are the upload queues
for both the main and the security archive:
* ftp://ftp.upload.debian.org
* ftp://security-master.debian.org
