For a week or so now, I can't update the package information from the repositories. I've tried a few different mirrors, including the one closest to me and the main server:
Failed to fetch http://archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/dists/hardy/Release Unable to find expected entry web/binary-i386/Packages in Meta-index file (malformed Release file?)
Failed to fetch http://archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/dists/hardy-updates/Release Unable to find expected entry web/binary-i386/Packages in Meta-index file (malformed Release file?)
Failed to fetch http://archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/dists/hardy-backports/Release Unable to find expected entry web/binary-i386/Packages in Meta-index file (malformed Release file?)
Failed to fetch http://archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/dists/hardy-security/Release Unable to find expected entry web/binary-i386/Packages in Meta-index file (malformed Release file?)
Some index files failed to download, they have been ignored, or old ones used instead.
As a result, an icon keeps appearing that tells me I've not updated in a week.
Are the repositories broken? If so, do we know what caused it and when they're expected to be back?
The other possibility is that something's wrong on my end, but that sounds unlikely since I've tried many servers...
