Hmmm, if I try to access the http link to the deb (as given above) in
Firefox, or even try http://plabws1.meadwestvaco.com alone, I get a
simple "Firefox can't find the server at plabws1.meadwestvaco.com". If I
try to ping it, I get an unknown host. Guess the server is simply down.
I'd suggest to go to menu System -> Administration -> Software Sources
and choose a different server on the first tab of the window (download
from). The Software Sources window will resynchronize the package index
files (same as apt-get update). Then you can try the upgrade again, I
guess it will work.
