I've never seen this type of error which has suddenly popped up.

When I run aptitude update, it starts out normal enough
and then blows up. Here is the full output.

Volatile does not exist anymore, it was replaced by squeeze-updates

Remove or comment out volatile in /etc/apt/sources.list
and run it again.
