That happens if you have a Sources.gz entry saing some source will build the package but you don't have any deb for it or if something depends on it and you don't have a deb for it. I think this also happen sif the package is already installed but no longer available. apt-get knows it should be there (or was there) but it currently has no url for it. -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe".
