        This sounds strange, should be /etc/apt/sources.list.  Are you sure
about the line?  hmh/postfix/ sounds strange, check that it is really
there.

        But is it really a Debian repository?  Otherwise you'd better download
the deb and dpkg -i it.

        Not strictly, but man apt.conf will tell you what to do.

        It should be created by apt.  Try apt-get instead of aptitude...

        It could be the Packages file at your 'repository' is not there...
