No idea what protocol 93 is (it's not listed in /etc/protocols). FTP
should use the tcp protocol (6).

But what is dselect using to get packages?  CD-ROM?  Based on
sources.list below, did dselect work with apt-get from CD-ROM?

Good question?

Maybe you can use http://... instead of ftp.  Does it make a difference?

Do you have some funky /etc/apt/apt.conf ?  A broken apt.conf will cause 
problems.  Still, no idea what the 93 is...
