Not sure where is the correct place to post, so here it is.  I went to
run an update/upgrade, and I got the following errors from the
Vanderbilt mirror site:


Err:2 http://masi.vuse.vanderbilt.edu/neurodebian data InRelease
  Clearsigned file isn't valid, got 'NOSPLIT' (does the network
require authentication?)
Err:6 http://masi.vuse.vanderbilt.edu/neurodebian xenial InRelease

ones used instead.


Checking here,

   http://neuro.debian.net/mirrors_status.html#chap-mirrors-stats

shows that site with

Mirrors status and availability
---------------------------------------------------
Mirror Location Age Status
us-tn USA-TN (Vanderbilt) None N/A
---------------------------------------------------

I replaced the Vanderbilt host with neuro.debian.net/debian and it
seems to work.

Is this something the Vanderbilt mirror admins need to address, or is
Vanderbilt not a mirror, or...?

Sorry for misposting if this isn't the appropriate list.
