Italian APT mirrors don't work

When I run sudo apt update, it outputs:

Do you want to accept these changes and continue updating from this repository? [y/N] 

Should I accept the changes?

Normally I would say "yes" or suggest to run

sudo apt --allow-releaseinfo-change update

But given that this changes a specific origin from Zorin OS to Ubuntu...
I am not confident on this one.

Noting this for @staff so that hte ZorinGroup can glance this over in case it is risky.

So, how to update my system?

@Aravisian ?

In the post above, I used the staff notification to alert the ZorinGroup.

Ok man

Hey Aravisian,
if I now need to install a package that's not in ubuntu repos, I need to add the repo- and then run sudo apt update. But with that command unavailable, how should I install this package? Should I fallback to Snap (aww man...)?

Actually, no.

As a test, you might use Software & updates and switch to
Download from: Main Server.

Then run sudo apt update and relay the result of that here. Let's see if there is a difference between the main server and your regional server.

I have not gotten those label change messages that you have.

"Main Server" was already set, so I edited sources.list.
The sudo apt update command took some time, the mirrors were slow.
It worked but with some warnings. How can I solve them?

And then, how to report issue to italian mirror's holders?

Try this Spotify key:

wget -O- https://download.spotify.com/debian/pubkey.gpg | sudo apt-key add -
sudo add-apt-repository "deb http://repository.spotify.com stable non-free"

I have no idea on this, actually. The regional mirrors are supposed to be Synced and contain all the same stuff as the main server. But I have far too often see this to not be the case.
I mean:

Would need to identify who is maintaining the regional server you are using and find their contact info...
It may be GARR:

Error 403: forbidden

I know a guy that works there! What should I tell him?

pfuh... I just tested it and got the same. Why Spotify? Spotify is notorious about this.

That the server needs to be synced with main...

Ok, I'll do this as soon as I can.

Aravisian, I finally have updated completely my system. So, THANKS!!
(It took an hour cause I have a slow hdd...)
