Hi, I have had a problem installing new packages in an etch/lenny system for a week or two.
Have repository gpg scripts been changed ? Is there a wider problem ? I've attached todays 'apt-get upgrade' output below. Synaptic tells me > The repository may no longer be available or could not be contacted > because of network problems. If available an older version of the > failed index will be used. Otherwise the repository will be ignored. > Check your network connection and ensure the repository address in the > preferences is correct.
