Grettings all !

I recently did a HD install of DSL. and I love it.. one small glitch I have run into..

When I run the apt-get update I get and error stating :
" Read error ( 21 is a directory) " and then another error that states could not Parse the file.. "

The only sources in my list are the " Debian Stable" from us.debian.org.. and also the Security. debian.org site..

Any Ideas would be greatly appreciated !

THanks !

before you run apt-get update run:

dpkg-restore

then run apt-get update..
