Debian update errors

[Patrick Fleming, EA]

Victor,
I found that running apt-get update *twice* fixes most of my apt-get
update "problems" and that's what the last lines of your log seems to
indicate:
"W: You may want to run apt-get update to correct these problems"
Then run apt-get upgrade... that's what works for me anyway. I'm a
Debian Noob too.
