I changed to that, and now I get:

Failed to fetch
http://metalab.unc.edu/pub/linux/devel/lang/java/blackdown.org/debian/dists/woody/non-free/binary
-i386/Packages  302 Found
Reading Package Lists... Done
Building Dependency Tree... Done
W: Couldn't stat source package list http://metalab.unc.edu
woody/non-free Packages
(/var/lib/apt/lists/metalab.unc.edu_pub_linux_devel_lang_java_blackdown.org_debian_dists_woody_non-fee_binary-i386_Packages)
- stat (2 No such file or directory)
W: You may want to run apt-get update to correct these problems
E: Some index files failed to download, they have been ignored, or old
ones used instead.


It would appear that it's looking for /Packages, and not /Packages.gz


Thanks, Brandon
