apt-get failed to fetch errors...

I'm seeing the following errors running 'apt-get update'. Not sure why. /var/log/apt-cacher/error.log shows no errors.

sftp subsystem dying

I tried to open a nautilus bookmark of a sftp session to my server today and it closed immediate with a "Could not open location 'sftp://vwelch@host' ssh program unexpectedly exited' message.

Running a sshd in debug mode on the server and I saw the following:

subsystem request for sftp
debug1: subsystem: exec() /usr/lib/openssh/sftp-server
debug1: Received SIGCHLD.

So for some reason my sftp-server subsyst is immediately failing. No idea why. Will update here when I figure it out.

apt-get nautilus-dropbox errors

Hmmm. After upgrading my laptop to 9.04, I'm seeing the following error:

# apt-get dist-upgrade

So far I haven't figure out how to solve this. Will post an update here when I have.

Update 5/29/09: I fixed this by installing it manually as follows.
