Well, as it turns out, all of the *_Packages files were corrupt, so I just
renemed them all, and re-ran update again. I don't use apt-get sources; and
the only other entries in my sources.list file (aside from offical Debian
ones) are the ones for this specific distribution (LibraNet).

So update is working; I'm getting the latest upgrades now; and will remove
any unnecessary services such as dict, etc, before I move it into the DMZ,

Thanks.
