My /etc/apt/sources.list includes:
# was marillat
deb http://www.debian-multimedia.org stable main contrib
---------------------------------
# apt-get update
. . .
Get:1 http://www.debian-multimedia.org stable/main Packages [33.6kB]

Get:2 http://www.debian-multimedia.org stable/main Release [128B]

Reading Package Lists... Done
E: Some index files failed to download, they have been ignored, or old ones used instead.
