Re: 404 not found using apt-get
I am not sure I understand you but let me try:
1) Indeed there is a space between unstable and main. However your source.list
seems wrong to me because /debian should be right after .org and before main.
2) As far as I know,
apt-get install dpkg
is supposed to use your source.list to download and install dpkg.
3) You can try the to report the webmaster of http://debian.midco.net/debian/
about the Packages file problem. I do not know how you can report a problem
with the mirrors to someone at debian.org but I believe there is a way to do
it.
