The standard security page at
http://www.debian.org/security/
says:
You can use apt to easily get the latest security updates. This requires a
line such as
deb http://security.debian.org/ sarge/updates main contrib non-free
in your /etc/apt/sources.list file.
However, when I put this line in the file, I get the following error
messages on running aptitude update:

It seems that I have to put "stable" rather than "sarge" in the deb line
in /etc/apt/sources.list .
Please check that the information on the security page is correct.
