apt-get update failing
I have an slink machine trying to do an "apt-get update" via an
autofs-mounted nfs directory mirror of ftp.us.debian.org on a remote
machine. (Got that ? :) I'm getting the following error ...
fsmail:~# apt-get update

Kind of weird. This is the file in question ...
fsmail:~# ls -la
/var/state/apt/lists/amnt_mirrors_debian_dists_frozen_main_binary-i386_Packa

And here's the first 10 lines ...
fsmail:~# head -10
