The original problem was deferent.  That one was about the GPG signature
missing from the client to validate the packages.

The errors you're getting are the result of MD5 mismatching between the
“Packages” file and what it should be (according to the file “Release”).
This is all because of the release of Debian GNU/Linux 3.1.  Apparently,
Marillat didn't update his server yet!  Currently, only the “Unstable”
branch is working.  So, if you don't want to see those errors, stop
using “Stable” and “Testing” branches from Marillat's repository.
