Some .debs are 404
HI folks--
I've got one machine which just cannot seem to find some .debs for
upgrade.
I'm pretty sure the problem lies at my end since other machines
upgraded without incident. What puzzles me is that most of the
packages upgraded fine. I just looked with a browser and I _know_
that the .deb is available despite the 404.
Anyone have any ideas where to look for problems?
Machine: OldWorld 8500
Distribution: testing
Kernel: 2.4.17 (Yeah, I know it's old and overdue for upgrade, but
I'm using BootX)
