Debian gurus: Wonder if I've corrupted one of my Debian installations somehow. On an 'apt-get dist-upgrade', or sometimes on an 'install' I get a lot of http 404 errors. (I'm on 'frozen' release.) If I browse to the site, I see that the package is there, but it has a different version number. I don't grok the apt system, but it seems that something is out of sync somehow. I've done all the apt-get stuff I can think of: update, upgrade, check, clean, and nothing seems to work. I have another machine on which this one is based on that all this works fine. A few days ago I accidently messed up my /var partition. I restored it from a backup, but some of the file/dir permissions were wierd, and there could possibly be files missing. This is the only thing I can think of that may be connected to the current problems. Any fix? I suppose I'll bite the bullet pretty soon here and just reinstall the system, since its possably corrupted. Here's an example of the apt-get problems (the --fix-missing tip at the bottem didn't help): xi:/usr/src# apt-get install smbfs Reading Package Lists... Done Building Dependency Tree...
