Re: Jessie mirrors not working

Hi Carlos,

one entry in your sources.list is not correct. The address for jessie/updates is incomplete. Append "debian" to the url. The correct entry would be
deb http://ftp.us.debian.org/debian/ jessie/updates main contrib non-free

After changing the file you have to update the cache (e.g. by running apt-get update). 

Greetings,
Christian
