Greg, Your information of great help, but only leads to more questions.
1. Where does one read about such specifics as the need to have a security source to do an upgrade? What I've seen on apt says relatively little. 3. The address didn't work, and I also tried a couple others. When I tried # aptitude update && aptitude upgrade, the warining is that it couldn't stat the source package list. The aptitude log says nothing. Besides your example, here are the respositories I tried: deb http://security.debian.org woody/updates main contrib non-free deb http://security.debian.org/ stable/updates main Haines -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe".
