The full linux root file system distributed by ADS uses the apt-get tool to install and upgrade software packages.
Previous releases of the root file system were configured so that apt used the Debian mirror archive.progeny.com by default. However, archive.progeny.com will be decomissioned on October 21st, 2006. A new version of the root filesystem has been released that uses debian-mirror.applieddata.net as its apt mirror; this address currently points to the Debian mirror hosted by mirrors.kernel.org.
Users of the full root linux file system and apt will need to update their system to use a different Debian mirror. Until this update is performed, apt commands such as apt-get update, apt-get install, and apt-get upgrade may fail.
If your system has an earlier version of the full linux root file system installed, you can change to the new mirror by running the following commands, as root:
sed -i 's/archive.progeny.com/debian-mirror.applieddata.net/' /etc/apt/sources.list
apt-get update
Alternatively, you can replace your current /etc/apt/sources.list file with this updated version
