:-) sweet memories, I remember some time ago when suddenly the non-free returned errors, I spent some time figuring out what line to use - I saw that the packages are there but did not know how to construct the proper line in sources.list. I finally came up with the following line that seems to work:
deb http://non-us.debian.org/ unstable/non-US main contrib non-free the web site that the link below points to offers slightly different line: deb http://non-US.debian.org/debian-non-US potato/non-US main contrib non-free I am not talking about unstable versus potato but about directory debian-non-US specified in second line - what difference does it make? erik will trillich wrote: > > after seven months, i still stumble into handy discoveries like this: > > using apt-get and sources.list to update your debian system: > http://http.us.debian.org/debian/dists/potato/main/upgrade-i386/ch-upgrading.en.html > > [of course, i wish i'd found it five months ago when i was originally > looking for it...
