elow is something like what I get when I try to install anything on my just installed OS Linux Mint Debian Edition.

Code:

    Reading package lists...
    Building dependency tree...
    Reading state information...
    The following extra packages will be installed:
      apache2-data apache2-utils
    Suggested packages:
      apache2-doc apache2-suexec-pristine apache2-suexec-custom
    The following NEW packages will be installed:
      apache2 apache2-data apache2-utils
    0 upgraded, 3 newly installed, 0 to remove and 0 not upgraded.
    Need to get 561 kB of archives.
    After this operation, 1,627 kB of additional disk space will be used.
    Do you want to continue? [Y/n] Err http://ftp.us.debian.org/debian/ jessie/main apache2-utils amd64 2.4.10-10

Hi...

Not sure I can help here but can you post the contents of your "/etc/apt/sources.list" file?

Also, are we talking about the version of LMDE here? Did you install or do anything that preceeded this?

Thanks!

Your problem can be the fact of server is offline and the packages cant be down.
Or you have a corrupt sources.list.

For the first , maybe in one or two days the server is up and then you can connect to him.
For the second as ardvark71 comment maybe can help if you can put the content of sources.list to our users see if have a problem on it. If your sources.list is wrong you can request a sources.list of other user of debian with the same arquitecture and the same version, or use a site like -> http://debgen.simplylinux.ch/

The problem is on your connection to the target so isnt a big problem.

Cool! I wonder if Ubuntu and its derivatives have a site like this?
