The official repository is maintained in the QuickBuild (Launchpad), where
during copying packages, which takes some time, there is also publish apt
lists, which takes place gradually. Therefore it may happen that during
the release of new versions the repository may be partially inconsistent
for a while.
By the way, in former times, it was necessary to wait for synchronization
packages to the mirrors. It could take many days to weeks. With the new
redirector and the cache on VPS this waiting is no longer necessary.
