user165269 asked:
I have setup a new server on rackspace & have used these exact rules in iptables http://articles.slicehost.com/assets/2007/9/4/iptables.txt
I don’t want server to act as a ftp server but when I am trying to install any package say
sudo apt-get install ruby, I get the following errors
Err http://ftp.us.debian.org/debian/ squeeze/main libruby1.8 amd64 1.8.7.302-2
404 Not Found [IP: 2610:148:1f10:3::89 80]

My answer:
This has nothing to do with FTP. The packages you requested simply aren’t on the repository server. A common 404 error.
Make sure you run apt-get update before attempting to install anything.
