Unfortunately, the suggestion that apt-get gives you doesn't apply

The link only brought me to the top of the page,
ummm....works here (on multiple browsers).
so I'm not sure which Q-A I was supposed to read. I scanned through
the list and saw two likely culprits (Q5.14 & Q5.24). The first
wasn't helpful since the selfupdate was what was complaining. Based
on the second I did a scanpackages for which I got this output:
16:12 [EMAIL PROTECTED]:~ (.337M)(77.7%)] $ fink scanpackages
Information about 1840 packages read in 1 seconds.

dpkg-scanpackages dists/local/bootstrap/binary-darwin-powerpc
override | gzip >dists/local/bootstrap/binary-darwin-powerpc/
Packages.gz

So far so good.
Then I ran another selfupdate and received this response. Looks
better, but there was still an error in the middle when updating
the package index. Thoughts?

I believe this is nonfatal. In any case check your /sw/etc/apt/
sources.list: if one of the "deb" lines has
local bootstrap
beside it, this would account for this message.
