Failed getting release file... http://ftp.ports.debian.org/debian-ports/dists/jessie/Release

[Jeffrey Walton <noloader@gmail.com>]

 I'm trying to setup an X32 test system. I'm following the
instructions at https://wiki.debian.org/X32Port.

When I invoke the debootstrap command:

debootstrap --arch=x32
--keyring=/usr/share/keyrings/debian-ports-archive-keyring.gpg Jessie
debian-x32 http://ftp.ports.debian.org/debian-ports/

It results in:

Failed getting release file
http://ftp.ports.debian.org/debian-ports/dists/jessie/Release

This has not worked in a few months.

I'm not behind a proxy. A browser cannot open the path, either.

I'm wondering if anyone is aware its not working; and how do I work
around it or fix it?

Thanks in advance.
