Estaba tratando de solventar el problema de los repositorios al que hacía referencia ayer y me he encontrado con una solución interesante hasta que solucionen el problema de forma definitiva. En HowToForge han publicado una de esas guías - bastante cutres, por cierto - sobre cómo montar "el servidor perfecto" con Ubuntu 8.04, y en uno de los pasos indican que hay que modificar las fuentes de los repositorios. Yo había probado con la herramienta gráfica de Orígenes del Software que proporciona Ubuntu, pero nada hasta que he visto esto. Editando a mano el fichero queda todo resuelto.

Así que la idea es borrar todo lo que haya en vuestro fichero /etc/apt/sources.list y sustituirlo por estos repositorios, que son los alemanes. Como no quiero que esta entrada quede tan fea (lo que sigue es el texto que debéis copiar) lo separo con uno de esos odiados "More" :(

He aquí el contenido del fichero en cuestión:
