I read a number of posts reporting this problem, but none of the
solutions they offered seemed to work in my case:
My /etc/apt/sources.list looks like this:
deb ftp://ftp.uk.debian.org/debian/ stable main non-free contrib
deb-src ftp://ftp.uk.debian.org/debian/ stable main non-free contrib
deb http://www.debian-multimedia.org stable main
deb http://dl.google.com/linux/deb/ stable non-free
deb http://security.debian.org/ etch/updates main contrib non-free
deb-src http://security.debian.org/ etch/updates main contrib non-free
deb http://apsy.gse.uni-magdeburg.de/debian etch main non-free
deb-src http://apsy.gse.uni-magdeburg.de/debian etch main non-free
When I run "apt-get update", I get this:

Reading package lists... Done
E: Some index files failed to download, they have been ignored, or old
ones used instead.
This seems to be a problemwith the uk mirror: when I use ftp.debian.org
or ftp.nl.debian.org, everything goes fine.
I tried all the suggestions in the mails about this:
o installing install
o installing gpgv
o rm /var/lib/apt/lists/partial/*
but with the uk mirror it just doesn't seem to work...
I'm not sure why it would have anything to do with Translation-en_GB
(that is not even installed!!!) but this package keeps popping up...
Anyone got a clue? Is it a partial install still sitting around somewhere?
Thanks
Alle Meije Wink
