Libtool is available from unreleased: http://ftp.debian-ports.org/debian/pool-armel/main/libt/libtool/ mpich is not available on armel, it build-depends on g77 which is not available. > # apt-get install aptitude > [...] > The following packages have unmet dependencies: > aptitude: Depends: libcwidget0 but it is not installable > # apt-get install libcwidget0 > [...] > E: Couldn't find package cwidget0 cwidget needs to be built on armel.

As already explained on this list this is "normal". If you think it is not acceptable, please come with a solution. This behaviour is there for years, and it seems nobody think it worth implementing that. > FWIW, /etc/apt/sources.list contains: > deb http://ftp.debian-ports.org/debian unstable main > deb http://ftp.debian-ports.org/debian unreleased main > and I get the same symptoms listing just "unstable" > > > The repo at ftp.gnuab.org instead seemed more coherent/complete but I > cannot apt-get update from it any more: gnuab.org is the old archive.

The directories should already be browseable. At least they are from here. -- .''`.
