Sorry, I misunderstood you.  "apt-get update" while running woody worked 
fine everytime.  It was only after the upgrade to sarge that I started 
having problems

Here is a current sources.list file.  It is currently set up for sarge, 
but it was fine when it was configured for woody.  All I did was a 
search and replace with emacs.  Maybe something happened there?  I 
didn't save a copy of that file before editing.
