My first step when that happens is to try again, that error happens to me quite frequently when the mirror is being updated. The file you are looking for is not on your mirror (as of when I sent this). What I do in that situation (if I don't want to wait), is to change to a different mirror in my sources.list, or to manually get the missing from a different mirror, and move them into /var/cache/apt/archives. Then I run # apt-get upgrade -f -- Seneca seneca-cunningham@rogers.com
