Thanks, it seems to work, after I ran "apt-file update".  However,
should I be concerned about the following error:

# apt-file update
Error: http://security.debian.org//dists/stable/updates/Contents-i386.gz not found

In case it is helpful, here are the contents of /etc/apt/sources.list:

deb http://ftp.us.debian.org/debian/ stable main non-free contrib
deb-src http://ftp.us.debian.org/debian/ stable main non-free contrib
deb http://non-us.debian.org/debian-non-US stable/non-US main contrib non-free
deb-src http://non-us.debian.org/debian-non-US stable/non-US main contrib non-free

deb http://security.debian.org/ stable/updates main contrib non-free
