Re: I tryied sid apt-lines.

Hi,

I changed apt-lines to only a sources.list of:
 deb ftp://ftp.debian-ports.org/debian sid main
and typed command "apt-get update" again.
However, the same error messages are displayed.

I use apt version 0.6.42.1.(perhaps etch before release)
I will update manually apt to version 1.2-11.
