Thanks. I added those lines, did an apt-get update and then my apt-get

the http://http.us.debian.org address. Can you explain why the files
would come in now with those added mirror lines, but from a server that
failed prior to those lines being added?
Because http.us.debian.org is a round-robin DNS, referring to several
mirrors, and you were iterating through them all until you actually found
one that had all the packages you wanted.
<sigh> Just another unstable user that can't be bothered to read
debian-devel-announce, where it was announced that ftp-master was in search
of new hosting, and therefore mirrors are not updating.
Oh wow... I guess I'm even worse than you.
I didn't realize that there were xorg packages in Debian yet.
It was my understanding that this might not be for a while because of a
decision to not switch to X.org until they had finished some major
redesign of their software. I guess that's changed?
Is this kind of information only available in debial-devel-announce?
I'm trying to find a mailing list that would approximate a newsletter of
whats techy cool and new and coming your way in debian... Is this
(debian-devel-announce) the best approximation? I hate finding out that
everything I've been using is XX years outdated, it's like wearing bell
bottoms to work...
