Re: aptitude refuses to install gcc and a few other things

[Didde Brockman]

Try running "apt-get update" to make sure your sources for apt are up 
to date, then retry your install. That usually solves the problems I 
get which look similar to yours  :)

I'm running denian-sarge.
When I try to install gcc using aptitude, I get the following lament:
ftp://mirror.direct.ca testing/main gcc-3.31:3.3.4 [ERROR]
 Unable to fetch file, server said 
'/pub/linux/debian/pool/main//g/gcc-3.3/gcc-3.

I get similar messages for several other files, such as cpp-3.3 
gcc-3.3 libgcj-common, mpeglib (I asked for a few other packages, 
too).

Is there a problem with gcc and friends?
Or with the mirror?
Or (most likely) have I done something wrong?
