apt-get install pbzip2 failing on new 2.3 install

[glena]

Hello fellow PM users!

I just installed a new server directly from a PM2.3 ISO disk and all seems fine but there are some normal additional packages I like to add that I seem to be having issues with. Some of them are: vim, pbzip2, tree and others.

Here is an example of the issue:

I checked my sources.list and it looks the same as other 2.3 installs that are working:

root@pmx-b03:/var/log# cat /etc/apt/sources.list
deb http://ftp.us.debian.org/debian squeeze main contrib


# PVE packages provided by proxmox.com
deb http://download.proxmox.com/debian squeeze pve


# security updates
deb http://security.debian.org/ squeeze/updates main contrib
​

Any ideas?

Thanks,

-Glen

First, why do you install the old 2.3? I highly recommend to use 3.0 for new installs.

try other mirrors, e.g. the one from Austria.

see the sources.list here:
