What is going on

[richard]

In order to try and get Virtualbox up I reloaded 2.6.28-11 server,
reloaded virtualbox, it starts but borks staring the VM

I ran apt-get update, in case I had only had a part update.

and got this:-

And on and on
#

so I checked the software sources

ALL the sources are now jaunty i386

This is not a i386 machine and all the sources were amd64 before


Is someone out there having a joke   ????


This should not happen 3 days before a release.
