can't update webmin on XEN host server

Hi,

I'm trying to update a Debian 6 XEN hosting system through CloudMin ("CloudMin" > "List Managed Systems" > select systems to update > click on "Update packages" button.

A Debian 6 server keeps giving me the following error:

Updated packages on usaxen03.securehosting.co.za ..

So I tried the update via SSH on the server directly, and got the following error:

Is your Debian repository missing, or something?

Howdy -- there were indeed a few problems related to the new server, including what you saw there.

Can you give that update another try?

It should work now. If not, let us know!
