apt-get broken?

[Peter S Galbraith <GalbraithP@dfo-mpo.gc.ca>]

Here's what happens when I try to `update' :

# apt-get update
Get ftp://debian.crosslink.net dists/hamm/ Packages
Error ftp://debian.crosslink.net dists/hamm/ Packages
 550 /pub/linux/debian/dists/hamm/Packages.gz: not a plain file. 
Get ftp://debian.crosslink.net dists/proposed-updates/ Packages
Error ftp://debian.crosslink.net dists/proposed-updates/ Packages
 550 /pub/linux/debian/dists/proposed-updates/Packages.gz: not a plain file. 
ERROR ftp://debian.crosslink.net/pub/linux/debian/dists/hamm/Packages.gz

ERROR ftp://debian.crosslink.net/pub/linux/debian/dists/proposed-updates/Packages.gz
  550 /pub/linux/debian/dists/proposed-updates/Packages.gz: not a plain file. 

I tried with another mirror as well.

I have apt version 0.1.6 on hamm.
