[TriLUG] Problems with apt-get against trilug server?

[Jeremy Portzer]

For some reason, an upgrade to apt on the server side doesn't generate
headers in a way that's perfectly compatible with all previous versions
of apt.  I don't quite understand it, but I am looking into it.  It's
not anything to really worry about, as the RPMs themselves are still
signed by Red Hat -- this only has to do with a signature/checksum for
the release file.  (The release file was never signed anyway.)
