Edit your /etc/apt/sources.list

remove or comment out the http line.  I had a lot of issues with it as  
well, I assume your using the default installation on the CF card that  
came with your board. Put this line at the top of your list:

deb ftp://ftp.us.debian.org/debian stable main contrib non-free

This works without any errors.  just run `apt-get update` again.

now run `apt-get remove jamvm`
then `apt-get install jamvm`

this should fix your errors
