I think you'll also need non-US/main, etc., judging from the directory organization on ftp.uk.debian.org. My /etc/apt/sources.list reads, in part (apologies for the lack of line-wrapping): deb ftp://ftp.uk.debian.org/debian woody main contrib non-free deb ftp://ftp.uk.debian.org/debian/non-US woody non-US/main non-US/contrib non-US/non-free This works fine, as do the corresponding deb-src lines. -- Colin Watson [EMAIL PROTECTED]
