Context

Cannot Create a mirror and cannot blacklist any packages.

infrastructure (Antivirus scan) is blocking some packages and cannot prevent aptly from trying to download this packages.
Or how can I create snapshot of mirrors despite of download errors (force options ??)

Your Environment

Ubuntu Jammy with aptly 1.50, mirroring Ubuntu jammy universe

I think the correct syntax for the regex would be !(Name (~ .*masscan.*))...

could you try with the asterisk (*) ? also note, there is only 2 s in the package name

[neolynx]

I tried to reproduce it, here are the filter expressions that work (I only tried 2 packages, with correct regular expression and boolean logic):

• -filter='!Name (~ .*masscan.*), !Name (~ .*price.app.*)'
• -filter='!(Name (~ .*masscan.*) | Name (~ .*price.app.*))'

also, I had to remove the argument -filter-with-deps, as it seems to bring filtered out the packages in again.
