W: You may want to run apt-get update to correct these problems
E: Some index files failed to download, they have been ignored, or old
ones used instead.
I'm replying to myself because I believe I fixed this problem on my
own: I did a little research and found that the repository information
that apt-get uses is found in /etc/apt/apt.sources. I changed my debian
mirror from http://http.us.debian.org to ftp://ftp.debian.org and this
fixed my problem entirely. (I got the list of mirrors from
debian.org). This leads me to believe that there may be something wrong
with http://http.us.debian.org. (By the way, I experienced the same
errors with http://ftp.us.debian.org). Should I report this somewhere?
Thanks.
Sincerely
Jose Alburquerque
