I assume you're talking about the unstable tree.
I saw a similar thing last week. I guessed that I was looking at it
during
_its_ mirror/update cycle. Later in the day (or the next day) it was OK
again.
I don't understand why the replaced files were missing too. The mirror
that
I run (v2.8) doesn't delete the old files until after the new ones
transfer!
However, the Packages file is still _way_ out of date, so I still can't
install
any of the recent updates. I sent mail about this on Friday but it's
still
in that state. Here's what I wrote:
The Packages file on ftp.debian.org has the date
214917 Mar 22 17:10 Packages.gz
but there have been many recent updates since then
that aren't in the Packages file, such as
binary-i386/devel/tcl76-dev_7.6p2-2.deb 323310
binary-i386/devel/tk42-dev_4.2p2-2.deb 524238
and lots more (modutils, etc).
