That is not a valid source anymore. It isn't maintained. You can use: http://location/debian etch main contrib non-free or http://location/debian-amd64/debian/ sarge main contrib non-free Only sarge is maintained on the old unofficial amd64 sites. etch and sid are no longer updated. You have to move to the official debian mirrors with /debian dir instead. Len Sorensen -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe". Trouble?
