The above line works for me (giving only a GPG error) with both "aptitude update" and "apt-get update". You could also try one of the mirrors[1]. This works for me using the UK mirror: deb http://www.uk.backports.org/ etch-backports main contrib non-free [1] http://www.backports.org/debian/README.mirrors.html -- Chris. -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe".
