sudden apt-get update problem
every few days i run apt-get update and apt-get upgrade to keep my 'potato'
system up to date. today I see the following:
stimpy:~# apt-get update

W: You may want to run apt-get update to correct these missing files
So I ran it again with the same results. I have not changed anything in my
system. My sources.list looks like:
deb http://http.us.debian.org/debian stable main contrib non-free
deb http://non-us.debian.org/debian-non-US stable/non-US main contrib non-free
deb http://security.debian.org stable/updates main contrib non-free
I've even went into /var/state/lists and wacked all of the 'old' ones in there
and then rebuilt using apt-get update again.
What's the scoop?
Bill
