Hello!

I'm tyring to do a "apt-get update", and it mostly works. However, there is 
one error message, which I don't understand:

---------------------------
/etc/apt % LANG=C apt-get update

---------------------------

What's going wrong here? Do I have an incorrect line in my /etc/apt/
sources.list?

Also, I assume that "Ign:" means "ignored". Is this okay?

May thanks,
Volker
