/etc/apt/sources.list.d/ is for putting text files ending with .list, that add sources to apt, not for downloading .deb files to it. Apt is warning that you have a file there that is not a source. You probably want something like: echo "deb http://backports.debian.org/debian-backports squeeze-backports main" > /etc/apt/sources.list.d/squeeze-backports.list apt-get update apt-get install -t squeeze-backports opendkim Kind regards, Andrei -- Offtopic discussions among Debian users and developers: http://lists.alioth.debian.org/mailman/listinfo/d-community-offtopic
