I was wondering, why I don't receive any testing security updates any more.

# grep -v ^# /etc/apt/sources.list
deb http://ftp2.de.debian.org/debian/ lenny main contrib non-free
deb-src http://ftp2.de.debian.org/debian/ lenny main contrib non-free

deb http://volatile.debian.org/debian-volatile lenny/volatile main
contrib non-free

deb http://security.debian.org/ lenny/updates main contrib non-free
deb http://debian-multimedia.org lenny main

# apt-cache policy cups
cups:
  Installed: 1.3.8-1lenny2
  Candidate: 1.3.8-1lenny2
  Version table:
 *** 1.3.8-1lenny2 0
        500 http://ftp2.de.debian.org lenny/main Packages
        100 /var/lib/dpkg/status

It turns out that ftp2.de.debian.org is not up to date any more.

I added ftp.de.debian.org to apt's sources and now have 35 upgradable
packages that have been missed by ftp2.de.d.o.

I have two questions:

Where should I report the problem with ftp2.de.debian.org?

Is there a recommended way of checking one's sources.list for outdated
servers?

Thanks in advance,

Johannes
