You probably have only the content of the CD in that apt repo, try adding : #deb cdrom:[Debian GNU/Linux 3.1 r0a _Sarge_ - Official powerpc Binary-1 (20050608)]/ unstable contrib main deb http://ftp2.fr.debian.org/debian/ stable main contrib non-free deb-src http://ftp2.fr.debian.org/debian/ stable main contrib non-free deb http://security.debian.org/ stable/updates main contrib non-free You should have the first line and the last line, right ? Add the second, and then read the apt-cache man page :) Friendly, Sven Luther -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe". Trouble? Contact [EMAIL PROTECTED]
