It was indeed a incorrectly reported error message (the problem is real, but the error message is misleading). I fixed that in my apt--fixes--0 branch (patch-12). Sorry for that.

Interesstingly enough it works fine with the ftp.debian.org server. And the ftp.nl.debian.org server seems to work sometimes too and it fails sometimes. I wonder if apt sometimes does not detect that no Packages.bz2 file is available on the server (or if the server doesn't tell that in a reliable way). I ran it with: apt-get update -o Debug::Acquire::ftp=true and -o Debug::pkgAcquire=true but so far I haven't found anything interessting :/ Cheers, Michael -- Linux is not The Answer.
