Re: Hamm -> Slink PROBLEMS
It may be a bug, but I am not sure. You can fix it by using the http port. That is, change your sources.list to http://ftp.us.debian.org... hope it helps...

Hamm -> Slink PROBLEMS
I am having problems upgrading my new box from hamm to slink. I have installed apt for hamm. I did changed my /etc/apt/sources.list file to point to ftp://ftp.us.debia.org/frozen main contrib non-free. I then did an apt-get update followed by an apt-get dist-upgrade.
