These three i-Packages are dead, they seized to exist (though I don't  
remember the asy i-Package). Remove any of their hints from your i- 
Packages location! For example: cd <location> ; rm -rf  
texbinaries.ii2 texmf.ii2 [asy.ii2]

another then your preferred server. Does this work? A few days ago it  
worked for me ...
