Hello,

when i try to check for updates with synaptic or the update manager, i
get that error above. further information in the error message:

http://ftp.us.debian.org/debian/dists/lenny/updates/main/source/Sources:
404 Not Found [IP: 35.9.37.225 80]

i did try to change to different servers but i keep getting the same
error. i think this installation is pretty standard, i haven't
customized it much. here is my source.list:

$ cat /etc/apt/sources.list
# deb http://ftp.us.debian.org/debian/ lenny main

deb http://ftp.us.debian.org/debian/ lenny main
deb-src http://ftp.us.debian.org/debian/ lenny main

deb http://security.debian.org/ lenny/updates main
deb-src http://ftp.us.debian.org/debian/ lenny/updates main

deb http://volatile.debian.org/debian-volatile lenny/volatile main
deb-src http://volatile.debian.org/debian-volatile lenny/volatile main

# Backported packages for Debian Lenny
deb http://www.backports.org/debian lenny-backports main contrib non-free
$

let me know anything else i can check.

thanks

^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
This one should be:

deb-src http://security.debian.org/ lenny/updates main

Thanks. while i never manually edited the sources.list file, i did use
software-properties-gtk to "select best server" (Main tab, Download From
dropdown menu, Other, select best server button). it seems like there
is a bug in that algorithm and i was able to reproduce it just now.

after correcting my sources.list with the line you provided and reloaded
my repositories, everything finished fine without any error. then, i
went back to 'select best server' and, oddly, it picked a server in new
zealand, ftp.nz.debian.org. i then checked my sources.list and it
looked like this:

$ cat /etc/apt/sources.list
# deb http://ftp.us.debian.org/debian/ lenny main

deb ftp://ftp.nz.debian.org/debian/ lenny main
deb-src ftp://ftp.nz.debian.org/debian/ lenny main

deb http://security.debian.org/ lenny/updates main
deb-src ftp://ftp.nz.debian.org/debian/ lenny/updates main

deb http://volatile.debian.org/debian-volatile lenny/volatile main
deb-src http://volatile.debian.org/debian-volatile lenny/volatile main

# Backported packages for Debian Lenny
deb http://www.backports.org/debian lenny-backports main contrib non-free
$

and, after checking for updates, i got the initial error again.
