Hi

I'm using Linux Ubuntu 6.10 on a Pentium D 2.8.

Well, following http://cran.r-project.org/bin/linux/ubuntu/README

I wrote in the sources.list

# R
deb http://CRAN.R-project.org/bin/linux/ubuntu edgy/
deb http://www.vps.fmvz.usp.br/CRAN/bin/linux/ubuntu edgy/

But after type "apt-get update" I got

Falha ao baixar 
http://www.vps.fmvz.usp.br/CRAN/bin/linux/ubuntu/edgy/Release Unable to 
find expected entry Packages in Meta-index file (malformed Release file?)
Falha ao baixar http://CRAN.R-project.org/bin/linux/ubuntu/edgy/Release 
Unable to find expected entry Packages in Meta-index file (malformed 
Release file?)
W: Conflicting distribution: http://www.vps.fmvz.usp.br edgy/ Release 
(expected edgy but got )
W: Conflicting distribution: http://CRAN.R-project.org edgy/ Release 
(expected edgy but got )

(PS. Falha ao baixar = Fail to download)

The key of Vincent Goulet seems to be OK.

Am I doing something wrong or there's really a problem with the Release 
file?

Many thanks!
