apt broke by itself
Posts: 16
Long time mepis user. Using mepis 3.3 here.
My apt-get hasn't been used for some time and now it seems broken.
Here's output of apt-get update
could someone give me a newer sources.list if I need one?

E: Some index files failed to download, they have been ignored, or old ones used instead.
