Thanks. while i never manually edited the sources.list file, i did use software-properties-gtk to "select best server" (Main tab, Download From dropdown menu, Other, select best server button). it seems like there is a bug in that algorithm and i was able to reproduce it just now. after correcting my sources.list with the line you provided and reloaded my repositories, everything finished fine without any error. then, i went back to 'select best server' and, oddly, it picked a server in new zealand, ftp.nz.debian.org. i then checked my sources.list and it looked like this: $ cat /etc/apt/sources.list # deb http://ftp.us.debian.org/debian/ lenny main deb ftp://ftp.nz.debian.org/debian/ lenny main deb-src ftp://ftp.nz.debian.org/debian/ lenny main deb http://security.debian.org/ lenny/updates main deb-src ftp://ftp.nz.debian.org/debian/ lenny/updates main deb http://volatile.debian.org/debian-volatile lenny/volatile main deb-src http://volatile.debian.org/debian-volatile lenny/volatile main # Backported packages for Debian Lenny deb http://www.backports.org/debian lenny-backports main contrib non-free $ and, after checking for updates, i got the initial error again. -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- iEYEAREIAAYFAkxB/CkACgkQXhfCJNu98qCe5gCguyYboQDvM8ZMYdL0OPgIveM5 pLgAoPeUJ9FT+XquxRxePhco4t7oZZTm =+Wh+ -----END PGP SIGNATURE----- -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-user-requ...@lists.debian.org with a subject of "unsubscribe".
