Re: Malformed release file
I also had this problem
In my case I tried to use ftp.sunsite.icm.edu.pl which is far far faster
then the listed ftp.pl.debian.org though everything seemed to be the
same on sunsite I couldn't get to work around this problem.
Could somebody explain why it is so? I'd gladly appreciate :)
