This also means that if needed users are handling most fresh packages, including security upgrades (so some evil ftp admin do not server you correctly signed package, but from last year). You (or debian archive master server, which is very improbable) have incorrect data and time setting on your system, or mirror you are using was not synchronized with upstream mirrors. It is also possible that someone (mirror administrator, or someone in your network) is trying to perform some kind of attack on your computer. Possibly it is giving you old Release file becuase some important security upgrades are in effect now. Please look at http://www.debian.org/security/#DSAS and check if there are any package from last month which can affect you, and for some reason was not upgraded. But security updates are server by security.debian.org anyway, so it should not be a problem IMHO. And squeeze is too fresh probably to be there any upgrades which will fix anythin. I just tested, and I have same error as you. Inspecting this release file gives: ... Suite: testing Date: Tue, 25 Jan 2011 14:17:25 UTC Valid-Until: Tue, 01 Feb 2011 14:17:25 UTC ... Description: Debian x.y Testing distribution - Not Released ... but should be (today) ... Suite: stable Version: 6.0 ... Date: Sat, 05 Feb 2011 12:29:37 UTC ... Description: Debian 6.0 Released 05 February 2011 ... Valid-Until was given becuase of prepared change for this in squeeze release cycle. So i blame server admin. Just switch to http://cdn.debian.net/debian/ temporarly. Conntact admin if you can. -- Witold Baryluk JID: witold.baryluk // jabster.pl
