apt-get using http works fine, but I have problems using the ftp method. My sources.list shows:
deb ftp://ftp.it.net.au/debian frozen main contrib non-free deb ftp://ftp.it.net.au/debian-non-US frozen/non-US main contrib non-free but apt-get gives: elm:# apt-get update Ign file: unstable/main Release Ign file: unstable/contrib Release Ign file: unstable/non-free Release Ign file: unstable/non-US/main Release Ign file: unstable/non-US/contrib Release Ign file: unstable/non-US/non-free Release Err ftp://ftp.it.net.au frozen/main Packages Protocol corruption Err ftp://ftp.it.net.au frozen/main Release Protocol corruption Err ftp://ftp.it.net.au frozen/contrib Packages Protocol corruption etc, etc. There is no proxy involved and I can use ncftp to connect to the site so it's not a firewall problem. I have removed my apt.conf so it's not that. I also tried "Acquire::Ftp "true";" but could not find any output. Potato and apt 0.3.16 Any ideas? -- Lindsay =-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-= Lindsay Allen <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Perth, Western Australia voice +61 8 9316 2486 32.0125S 115.8445E Debian Linux =-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=
