Remove the ftp://ftp.debian.org/debian line from your sources.list, do apt-get update apt-get -f install libnet-perl libwww-perl libmd5-perl Put ftp://... back in your sources.list (assuming you are unhappy with the speed of ftp1) and then run apt-get update apt-get dist-upgrade FTP requires a stack of perl modules, HTTP does not. You want to use HTTP if you can. Jason -- Unsubscribe? mail -s unsubscribe [EMAIL PROTECTED] < /dev/null
