Now tried: #apt-get update (or upgrade) with sources.list deb ftp://ftp.au.debian.org/debian etch main contrib non-free deb-src ftp://ftp.au.debian.org/debian etch main contrib non-free deb http://security.debian.org/ etch/updates main contrib non-free deb-src http://security.debian.org/ etch/updates main contrib non-free fails to give access to either sources or security updates and no update/upgrade occurs at all Then also tried: #apt-get update (or upgrade) with sources.list deb ftp://ftp.debian.org/debian etch main contrib non-free deb-src ftp://ftp.debian.org/debian etch main contrib non-free deb http://security.debian.org/ etch/updates main contrib non-free deb-src http://security.debian.org/ etch/updates main contrib non-free fails to give access to either sources or security updates and no update/upgrade occurs at all (installation was from etch beta 2 release installer; netinstall from debian.inode.at) TO ADD that with either 'au' or without in the sources.list, the result of gcc trial install is the same as with debian.inode.at, i.e.: #apt-get install gcc-4.0 Reading.. Building dependency tree... Package 4.0 is not available, but is referred to by another package. This may mean that the package is missing, has been obsoleted, or is only available from another source. However the following packages replace it: gcc-4.0-locales W. (a series of warnings that Couldn't stat source package list at http:... E: Package gcc-4.0 has no installation candidate. francesco pietra ___________________________ > > > deb http://security.debian.org/ etch/updates main contrib non-free > > deb-src http://security.debian.org/ etch/updates main contrib non-free > > > > thanks a lot for your interest and kind advice > > > > francesco pietra > > > > > Len Sorensen > > > > -- > > To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] > > with a subject of "unsubscribe".
