The recommended option, of course, is squeeze, the next release after lenny. If you decide to stick with one of the releases you're using here, pick lenny and point to archive.debian.org rather than ftp.us.debian.org. Then run the usual apt-get update. You should probably do an apt-get dist-ugprade as well. I suspect this system is a little screwed up if this the apparent state of /etc/apt/sources.list is as indicated by the errors you posted. -- Chris -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-user-requ...@lists.debian.org with a subject of "unsubscribe".
