Hmmm... I'm jumping in here and talking about something I know only
about, so this may be entirely wrong, but I think I see a couple of errors in
your sources list.
First, (and this may have no bearing on your problem) but your only line for
source
code is:
deb-src http://archive.progeny.com/debian testing main contrib non-free
but if when I fired up my browser to take a look I found that this no longer is
a working
site:
It is with regret that we must decommission archive.progeny.com. This
server was permanenatly removed on Sunday, October 22nd at 22:00 EDT.
(02:00 UTC on Monday, October 23rd). Progeny Linux Systems was happy to
provide this service while it could, and thanks n|Frame for their donation
of bandwidth while they could. Questions concerning this can be directed
toward the Progeny Mirrors mailing list.
Second, I think you're supposed to be downloading source code, but the entries
for
people.debian.org begin with deb, not deb-src. There is no such package in the
binary packages for amd64. This might all make more sense if you point your
browser to http://people.debian.org/~rdonald/nvidia/ and have a look.
HTH!
OK, changed sources.list to this:
deb http://secure-testing.debian.net/debian-secure-testing
testing/security-updates main contrib non-free
deb http://cudlug.cudenver.edu/debian/ testing main contrib non-free
deb-src http://cudlug.cudenver.edu/debian/ testing main contrib non-free

And got this:

That was after I updated:
