Check the kanotix website - it looks like you need to update your  
kanotix source. It's redirecting to one of the debian mirrors so it may  
be that kanotix don't want to run their own independent mirror anymore.

You probably want a closer mirror. Try one of these:
    * ftp.us.debian.org/debian
    * http.us.debian.org/debian
    * ftp.debian.org/debian
    * ftp.egr.msu.edu/debian
    * mirrors.kernel.org/debian
    * archive.progeny.com/debian
    * debian.crosslink.net/debian
    * ftp-mirror.internap.com/pub/debian
    * ftp.cerias.purdue.edu/pub/os/debian
    * ftp.lug.udel.edu/debian
    * debian.lcs.mit.edu/debian
    * debian.teleglobe.net
    * debian.rutgers.edu
    * debian.oregonstate.edu/debian

(To get this list, view any Debian package and click on your  
architecture.)

e.g. http://packages.debian.org/unstable/utils/pilot-qof
scroll down to "Download ..." and click on i386 or amd64 etc.

These lines are the ones that need to be replaced or removed -  
depending on what kanotix have done.

Edit it yourself (using sudo).
$ sudo gedit /etc/apt/sources.list &
$ sudo apt-get update
or
# vi /etc/apt/sources.list
# apt-get update
