Been working fine with me. When I replied to you I realised that the Pi
in question was on jessie still. I did a lather-rinse-repeat loop of
apt-get update / upgrade / dist-upgrades, sed of jessie to stretch in
apt/sources and apt-get update / upgrade / dist-upgrades. Now I have a
working and up to date stretch install.

"Linux rpiw 4.14.79+ #1159 Sun Nov 4 17:28:08 GMT 2018 armv6l GNU/Linux"

What I noticed was during the upgrade was an update that changed the
line from

deb http://mirrordirector.raspbian.org/raspbian/ stretch main contrib
non-free rpi

to

deb http://raspbian.raspberrypi.org/raspbian/ stretch main contrib
non-free rpi

Both still resolve to 93.93.128.193 and, for me, works such that I've
performed a complete dist-upgrade pointing me to 350+ packages to
download and install.

I'd add this in the fault log as "works for me, closed".

YMMV
