Did you 'apt-file update' first?

I think it's only in Sarge.

Look at the error message: you swapped arguments ('install' comes first)
OK I ran apt-get install base-config
localhost:/home/mikef# apt-get install base-config
E: Could not get lock /var/lib/dpkg/lock - open (11 Resource temporarily
unavailable)
E: Unable to lock the administration directory (/var/lib/dpkg/), is another
process using it?
localhost:/home/mikef# apt-get install base-config
Reading package lists... Done
Building dependency tree... Done
Package base-config is not available, but is referred to by another package.
This may mean that the package is missing, has been obsoleted, or
is only available from another source
However the following packages replace it:
locales belocs-locales-bin
E: Package base-config has no installation candidate
base-config supposedly doesn't exist, but something called locales does.
Sounds Spanish..... has anyone used it?
