security.ubuntu.com problems

[Magnus Therning]

I ran into the same thing a few days ago. Amazingly the following steps
seemed to work for me:

1. Remove the 'restricted' part in sources.list for the repo in
   question.
2. 'apt-get update'
3. Put back the 'restricted' you just deleted.
4. 'apt-get update'

As I said, this worked for me. I don't know if it'll work for you, but
it's worth a shot I guess. It'd be amazing if it did work...

Software is not manufactured, it is something you write and publish.
Keep Europe free from software patents, we do not want censorship
by patent law on written works.

The notion that an anonymous posting needs to be traceable to its
source is a product of the unification of the old time conservative
desire to squelch free speech with the new fangled politically correct
liberal desire to squelch free speech.
