I thought maybe it was a problem with my /etc/sources.list file. I
tried changing to a different site, but that didn't help. Here is my
/etc/sources.list file, and following that, my apt-get update errors.
# begin /etc/sources.list
# Use for a local mirror - remove the ftp1 http lines for the bits
# your mirror contains.
# deb file:/your/mirror/here/debian stable main contrib non-free
# See sources.list(5) for more information, especial
# Remember that you can only use http, ftp or file URIs
deb http://ftp1.us.debian.org/debian main contrib non-free
# end of /etc/sources.list
