apt-get update error: no hash entry and Package: header?

Question

When I try to update software on 11.10 I get the following error:

W: GPG error: http://repository.akirad.net akirad-oneiric InRelease: File /var/lib/apt/lists/partial/repository.akirad.net_dists_akirad-oneiric_InRelease doesn't start with a clearsigned message W: Failed to fetch gzip:/var/lib/apt/lists/partial/repository.akirad.net_dists_akirad-oneiric_main_binary-i386_Packages Encountered a section with no Package: header

W: Failed to fetch http://repository.akirad.net/dists/akirad-oneiric/main/i18n/Index No Hash entry in Release file /var/lib/apt/lists/partial/repository.akirad.net_dists_akirad-oneiric_main_i18n_Index

E: Some index files failed to download. They have been ignored, or old ones used instead.

Updating software through the GUI also gives me errors about downloading packages, but they are a lot less verbose.

I never had any troubled performing updates in the last version of Ubuntu.

What do I need to do to fix this error?

I guess you are just unlucky, the ppl behind that repo forgot to renew they domain registration!

(I'm guessing that 'repository.akirad.net' is the correct address and you didn't made any mistakes there, but 'akirad.net' is closed!)
