The appropriate list for your question is [EMAIL PROTECTED]
I will Cc it there.
It looks like you have ftp.debian.org in your sources.list.
ftp.debian.org is a deprecated server that should not be used as a
package source, as per this email by Josip Rodin:
http://lists.debian.org/debian-devel-announce/2007/12/msg00002.html
This may or may not be related to your problem, but you would probably
be better off using a country mirror alias as detailed in that email (for
instance, ftp.us.debian.org if you live in the US). Edit
/etc/apt/sources.list and change all occurrences of ftp.debian.org to
the server that's appropriate for you.
