-rw-r--r-- 1 root root 1960 Mar 25 2011 karmic.list
Now, when I run > apt-get update
what I get is:

This is causing havoc, and I can't bring my system up-to date because it won't let me install what I need.

What can I do to get out of this mess? I really need to fix this quickly.
Thank you all for any clues.
Howdy,
You had mentioned in a different post that you were able to get suexec installed -- are you still seeing this particular problem? If so, let us know what /etc/apt/sources.list looks like.

Hi Eric,
Following your hint about incorrect package source repository, I found a copy of Lucid list in /etc/apt/sources.list.d on a machine in our office, and placed it on the remote server. Everything is fine now. I am able to fetch correct packages, and the system is back to normal now.
I don't know why I had the Karmic source repository on my Lucid box in the first place. The server was set up by another person a few years ago. Also, I am not sure if this was the cause of the malfunction of autoremove command that created the mess in the first place.
I am truly grateful to you!
Simon.
