Sorry didn't make it clear enough. There is no error message and the mirror site is definitely working. I don't have any problem to login and browse the contents of the site by using FTP client. I'm using console-apt to do the update and install packages. The problem is that I can't find the packages in "console-apt package list" which I am quite sure they are there. This is what i meant "failed" to install. Have tried another mirror site in NZ and Australia but with no luck and the problem is same. Any help ? Tks. Jason
