I noticed it as well. I commented out the entry: deb http://security.debian.org/ lenny/updates main contrib in my "/etc/apt/sources.list" file, in the meantime. As this is not a production machine, I'll wait a day or so and try again. The fix is possibly easy enough if you knew which entry had the corrupt package header. -- "Religion is excellent stuff for keeping common people quiet." -- Napoleon Bonaparte -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-user-requ...@lists.debian.org with a subject of "unsubscribe".
