PostX repository: Remote end closed connection explained

This is an issue, which might be related to the configurations coming from my service provider or then it might just be an issue relating to Debian base. In any case, the issue is not fatal and sudo apt-get upgrade and sudo apt-get install commands should still work with PostX repositories.

You could also wait some time and try apt-get update again – since the fetching of translation files does not always fail. Regardless of the solution, both ways of doing things should work just fine.

The biggest reason for the name change was however the fact that the system is getting ready to move towards new directions, which were originally out of scope when I started this project.
