Does this make sense? That is possible, but it will be a lot of work to download all the dependencies (and the dependencies of the dependencies, etc.) yourself. > I use synaptic for installing packages.

I would like to know how long the Packages file for http.us.debian.org is on your system. Please post the output of: ls -lh /var/lib/apt/lists/http.us.debian.org_debian_dists_stable_main_binary-amd64_Packages Also, you can check if this file lists the libstlport4.6c2 package: grep -A7 '^Package: libstlport4.6c2' /var/lib/apt/lists/http.us.debian.org_debian_dists_stable_main_binary-amd64_Packages Other things you can try: Maybe there is a problem with the Packages file on your computer and it does not get corrected because apt(itude) only downloads the index file diffs by default. You can force a new download of the whole Packages file with this: aptitude -o Acquire::PDiffs=false update (This will download several MB, so it might take a while depending on your network connection.) If all else fails, try another mirror. -- Regards, | http://users.icfo.es/Florian.Kulzer Florian | -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe". Trouble?
