It is corrupted. It contains the following in the middle of the file. I include "..." to signify several lines. The rest is verbatim. Package: sndfile-programs ... SHA256: 18f3af14bda44dc71bd16474d78856b249d7392e2fa8bd93a548f3cdd689b947 None None None Package: libthai-data ... In the upstream file between those two package file paragraphs are three corrupted package paragraphs. None of those "None" lines should be there. It will need to be fixed in the security archive. I am sure a fix will come through quickly. Bob
