Hi Roel, I switched a test box to use your sources.list extract and added locale nl_NL.UTF-8 and made it the default. "apt-get update" works for me (see below). I suggest you try using tshark or wireshark to see exactly what is happening when you get the 501 errors. Also, FWIW, you can probably see English text in a Dutch system by prefixing a locale overide, e.g. "LC_ALL=C apt-get update". --Mike Geraakt http://ppa.quickbuild.pearsoncomputing.net wheezy/main Sources Ophalen:29 http://ftp.us.debian.org testing/main Translation-en/DiffIndex [7876 B] Geraakt http://ppa.quickbuild.pearsoncomputing.net wheezy/main i386 Packages Ophalen:30 http://ftp.us.debian.org testing/non-free Translation-en/DiffIndex [7819 B] Geraakt http://ppa.quickbuild.pearsoncomputing.net wheezy/main Sources Geraakt http://ppa.quickbuild.pearsoncomputing.net wheezy/main i386 Packages Genegeerd http://ppa.quickbuild.pearsoncomputing.net wheezy/main Translation-nl_NL Genegeerd http://ppa.quickbuild.pearsoncomputing.net wheezy/main Translation-nl Genegeerd http://ppa.quickbuild.pearsoncomputing.net wheezy/main Translation-en Genegeerd http://ppa.quickbuild.pearsoncomputing.net wheezy/main Translation-nl_NL Genegeerd http://ppa.quickbuild.pearsoncomputing.net wheezy/main Translation-nl Genegeerd http://ppa.quickbuild.pearsoncomputing.net wheezy/main Translation-en 440 kB opgehaald in 14s (31,0 kB/s) Pakketlijsten worden ingelezen...
