Debian update problems - Packages.gz and friends are missing for Apophis r3

I don't know if this is the right place for that kind of
issues,
so feel free to suggest other {lists, email addresses} if
necessary.

Problem:

I wasn't able to upgrade scratchbox on Debian
"etch" to Apophis r3 with
"apt-get update && apt-get upgrade" so
far.

Reason:

It seems that files "Packages, Packages.gz" are
missing
on http://scratchbox.org/
debian/. Without those files Debian
does not know whether a package needs to be updated -
(or is available at all).

Possible Solutions:

Someone with access to the server where http://scratchbox.org/d
ebian/
resides would need to do something like [1], (or consider
[2] or[3]) to
fix it.

Until this has been fixed, users could use [1] on a local
copy of the
repository and add that repository to their sources.list as
a workaround.


Thanks in advance!
