Well it says 'you don't have /var/lib/apt/lists/ftp.nl.debian.org_debian-amd64_debian_dists_sarge_contrib_binary-amd64_Packages' Please run 'apt-get update' is what it suggests doing. If apt-get update fails, then ou have broken entries in your sources.list have to fix those first. Len Sorensen -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe". Trouble?
