Hi,<div><br></div><div>This is my first time posting on this list so be gentle!</div><div><br></div><div>I run Debian Lenny on my VPS, and have recently added lenny-backports to my /etc/apt/sources.list in order to get the latest version of Mercurial, as a repository I&#39;m working on couldn&#39;t be used by the version on Lenny. This was a few weeks ago, and apt-get update worked fine then I think. Now I am  getting a 403 when running update:</div>
