I wanted to make a chage to the wikipedia: http://sourceforge.net/apps/mediawiki/ubuntuzilla/index.php?title=Main_Page but it seems to be protected.

The repository:``` deb http://downloads.sourceforge.net/project/ubuntuzilla/mozilla/apt all main

deb http://switch.dl.sourceforge.net/project/ubuntuzilla/mozilla/apt all main

If you're using a cacher like "apt-cacher" as a proxy, you need to us the alternate repository also, however. At least until apt-cacher gets updated.

This explains the error:


Err http://downloads.sourceforge.net all/main Packages
  302  Moved Temporarily

or if wget'd (where wget gets directed to the apt-cacher proxy


root@phaff:~# wget http://downloads.sourceforge.net/project/ubuntuzilla/mozilla/apt/dists/all/main/binary-i386/Packages.gz

hi thanks for the heads-up. i'll make a note on the website about any apt tools not supporting 302 redirects.
