Here's what I get when i run apt-get update:

my source.list file is as follows:

deb http://non-us.debian.org/debian-non-US testing/non-US main
deb-src http://non-us.debian.org/debian-non-US testing/non-US main

deb ftp://ftp.wa.au.debian.org/debian/ testing main
deb-src ftp://ftp.wa.au.debian.org/debian/ testing main

deb http://security.debian.org/ testing/updates main

Updates used to work, but all of a sudden they have stopped!

Have you tried apt-get update again at a later time?
I get this occasionally myself. I think this is server downtime or
maintenance. It never lasted longer than a few hours.

Your system isn't broken by the way. You can upgrade if you like, or
wait for a succesful update.

(of course there's always that little chance security.debian.org is
being compromised :-)

i've been getting the 404 errors for the past week. The other errors:

W: Couldn't stat source package list http://non-us.debian.org
testing/non-US/main Packages
(/var/lib/apt/lists/non-us.debian.org_debian-non-US_dists_testing_non-US_mai
n_binary-i386_Packages) - stat (2 No such file or directory)

are only recent.

Re-running apt-get update doesn't fix the problem

The non-US component has been removed from the Debian archive. You
should remove the reference to it in your sources.list and run apt-get
update again.

OK, I removed it and it went away. Thanks.

Has debian changed there policy on non-US sources?

"non-us" is obsolete. You can take it out of your sources.list.

It's more like the US relaxed the regulations on the export of
cryptography, see the thread starting at
<http://lists.debian.org/debian-user...6/msg00719.html>.

US laws have changed, making it unnecessary to keep a separate "non-US"
software category.
