[Bug 601916] Re: mirror: method should try the next mirror on 404

[n0PxN0p]

confirming for 16.04

E: Failed to fetch mirror://mirrors.ubuntu.com/mirrors.txt/dists/xenial-security/main/i18n/Translation-en  404  Not Found [Mirror: http://linux.psu.ru/ubuntu/]
E: Some index files failed to download. They have been ignored, or old ones used instead.

However it would be sane to try to cycle for next one in ~my~ http://mirrors.ubuntu.com/mirrors.txt

    E: Unable to fetch some archives, maybe run apt-get update or try with --fix-missing?

  I'm pretty certain that at least some of those files were available on
  at least one mirror; if nothing else,
  http://mirrors.ubuntu.com/mirrors.txt shows
  http://archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/ as its first entry, and that
  definitely has that version of lilypond-data.  Shouldn't mirror: try
  other mirrors if one of them 404s?  Otherwise it seems that it is
  likely to fail if any of the mirrors is unreliable, rather than giving
  me increased reliability which I think should be achievable.
