I am using Debian sid, so I can't reproduce the apt-get install
problem, however apt-cache policy says:
apt-cache policy python2.3
python2.3:
Installed: 2.3.5-9
Candidate: 2.3.5-9
Version table:
*** 2.3.5-9 0
500 file: sid/main Packages
500 ftp://ftp.iasi.roedu.net unstable/main Packages
100 /var/lib/dpkg/status
2.3.5-3 0
500 ftp://ftp.iasi.roedu.net stable/main Packages
sh-3.1# apt-cache policy python
python:
Installed: 2.3.5-3

Version table:

It seems that python2.3 has no version in testing, but python does.
Try adding stable to your sources.list as well.

Doing an apt-get update all my sources are downloaded just fine. My mirror is:
ftp://ftp.iasi.roedu.net/mirrors/amd64.debian.net/debian-amd64/
My output of:
# md5sum /var/lib/apt/lists/*source_Sources

BTW where is the md5sum file on the server? where does apt-get check for it?
Kind regards,
