Which should be fine.  So I ran <aptitude update> and got the following 
errors:
<quote>

So you have clearly hit the nail on the head, Hugo.  If this were Windows I 
would be muttering darkly about viruses.  But it isn't Windows, so I am at a 
loss.  I did Google to try and find a different mirror for security, but did 
not succeed.

Perhaps I should wait a bit and see what I get tomorrow.  It's late anyway 
here.

Thanks for all the help, Hugo.
