As Debian moves forward, whois 5.4.3 will become no longer packaged in Debian, and will disappear from ftp.debian.org. snapshot.debian.org URLs however are stable. So we should continue to use a snapshot.debian.org URL. Thanks! Thomas -- Thomas Petazzoni, CTO, Bootlin Embedded Linux and Kernel engineering https://bootlin.com
