Error upgrading debian installation from stable to testing : malformed Release file?
Hi all,
I have an installation of debian stable I am trying to upgrade to testing.
I have updated sources.list to testing/wheezy but when I do apt-get upgrade I get the following error:
=====
W: Failed to fetch
ftp://ftp.au.debian.org/pub/debian/dists/testing/Release Unable to
find expected entry mayin/binary-amd64/Packages in Meta-index file
(malformed Release file?)
E: Some index files failed to download, they have been ignored, or old
ones used instead.
======
I thought this might be a transient issue but I tried the upgrade yesterday as well as again today.
Does anyone know what is the correct list/bug tracker where I should report the problem if the issue is with the repository instead of my test laptop.
Regards,
Tim.
The full apt-get update log is:
