Hamm -> Slink PROBLEMS

[wax_man@bellsouth.net]

I am having problems upgrading my new box from hamm to slink.  I have installed
apt for hamm.  I did changed my /etc/apt/sources.list file to point to
ftp://ftp.us.debia.org/frozen main contrib non-free.  I then did an
apt-get update followed by an apt-get dist-upgrade.  While trying to
d/l, apt gave me the following errors:

I have tried to upgrade multiple times, so I know that it is not a site specific problem.  What is going on?

Thanks,
