Nope, it's something much more subtle I guess. I even tried changing my
Release file to look like an official Debian one, [1] but that had no effect
on the strange error message I get; it is still saying, "Failed to fetch
http://debian.houseofnate.net/dists/unstable/Release Unable to find expected
entry nwt/binary-i386/Packages in Meta-index file (malformed Release
file?)". (This is with apt 0.6.10.)
Just in case someone can glean some hints from it, I have included the output
[2] from running "apt-get -o Debug::pkgAcquire::Auth=yes update" with a
minimal sources.list containing my troublesome repository. [3]
Anyway, happy new year, folks. =)
