Re: upgrade to slink
Hi, Ralph!
I'm sorry for such a long delay in answering, Holidays really took over me.
Briefly I don't know what your problem is. I tried your
/etc/apt/sources.list, it works for me just fine.

May be it's worth trying to remove that file (or better moving it to some safe
place), and start over. It won't do any harm for your system, I just tried
it on my computer, after "Update" it'll get another file for you from
official site. It looks like it's structure is corrupted
/var/state/apt/lists/ftp1.us.debian.org_debian_dists_slink_main_binary-i386_Pac

Well, that's the only bright idea that I got.
