I'm using the dselect/apt/dpkg combo to download and install new
packages in potato from ftp.us.debian.org. My system is already
slink/potato, from earlier downloads from potato. Yesterday I
tried to download a large number of packages. Some were
sucessfully downloaded, but a large number of packages were not
downloaded because dselect/apt said they were "not a plain file".
I tried again today, but with identical results. So does anybody
know what's causing this? Is the problem with us.debian.org? Has
anybody else using us.debian.org seen this?
TIA
