ftp.tux.org errors during apt package updates
For about two weeks, I have been getting the following
errors when running 'aptitude update' or 'apt-get update':
###################################
Ign ftp://ftp.tux.org etch Release

W: You may want to run apt-get update to correct these problems

I can connect to ftp.tux.org using ftp, but if I try to get a
directory listing, I get the following:
#################################
connect failed: No route to host.
Falling back to PORT instead of PASV mode.
Remote host has closed the connection.
List failed.
################################
I have gone to http://www.tux.org/, but I don't see any info
there that would indicate that they are having problems.
I can eliminate the error by commenting out the ftp.tux.org line
in /etc/apt/sources.list, but I don't know what packages this might
effect.
Is anybody else having problems with ftp.tux.org?
