Malformed Release File
I first tried wget to retrieve the file directly. It couldn't resolve
the domain name. Then I noticed my other machine, which was downloading
apt-get from the same server, was getting error messages too.
I then went back to the first amchine and started base installation
from http.us.debian.org without any problems.
So in this case, it really was a server problem. Is there some way we
could check specifically for dns name resolution and ping-ability and
return that as an error instead of Malformed Release file?
