Hi all,

I am getting an error trying to do an apt-get 
install on a couple of packages I want get 
and don't understand why. It recommends doing 
an apt-get update, which also gets the same 
error.

The error is:

W: Couldn't stat source package list 
http://http.us.debian.org 
dists/stable-updates/ Packages 
(/var/lib/apt/lists/http.us.debian.org_debian_dists_stable-updates_Packages) 
- stat (2 No such file or directory)

And yes, 
http.us.debian.org_debian_dists_stable-updates_Packages 
does not exist, but where should it come from?

The contents of that directory are:
http.us.debian.org_debian_dists_stable_contrib_binary-i386_Packages
http.us.debian.org_debian_dists_stable_contrib_binary-i386_Release
http.us.debian.org_debian_dists_stable_main_binary-i386_Packages
http.us.debian.org_debian_dists_stable_main_binary-i386_Release
http.us.debian.org_debian_dists_stable_non-free_binary-i386_Packages
http.us.debian.org_debian_dists_stable_non-free_binary-i386_Release
lock
partial

Suggestions?

Thanks!
