[EN] apt update Translation-en unavailable

[sunrat]

For some time now when I do apt-get update, it attempts to fetch translation files many times until finally giving up. On this occasion it tried each about 40 times but sometimes it is hundreds.

Reading package lists...
There are similar lines for main and contrib, and also deb-multimedia and virtualbox repos but not debian repos.
dist-upgrade completes successfully but obviously the update takes a very long time. It is a Desperado Reloaded installation that has been regularly upgraded. I tried changing sources to udel or siduction.org but no difference. Any ideas how to fix? Did I break my locales?

siduction.list :-

There is no *non-free* subrepo in siduction/base. And I assumed there is no *contrib* subrepo either, but the later obviously didn't cause an error.

Thanks michaa7, I will remove those.
 I added an edit while you were posting, it happens with main as well. I just didn't post all ~180 lines from the command output.

Edit: removing contrib and non-free from the siduction base and extra repo only stopped some errors. The fixes repo does have contrib and non-free, so I still get errors from there. Still get the same in all repos except debian.
