New question #194138 on Medibuntu:
https://answers.launchpad.net/medibuntu/+question/194138

As of 18th April 2012 I can't update from medibuntu. The problem is occurring with several PCs, runing both ubuntu oneiric and the pre-release ubuntu precise.

No changes have been made to the apt sources, gpg keys or any other related configuration.

Trying to do an update (sudo aptititude update or sudo apt-get update) gives a number of errors as below:

My sources.list contains (precise shown, oneiric is similar):

--- START QUOTE ---

deb http://packages.medibuntu.org/ precise free non-free
deb-src http://packages.medibuntu.org/ precise free non-free

This has not been changed and was working correctly before.
