Looks like you're missing a '/' at the end of the http://security.debian.org part. Change http://security.debian.org stable/updates main contrib non-free to http://security.debian.org/ stable/updates main contrib non-free and then run apt-get update, and see if that helps. > > # Uncomment if you want the apt-get source function to work > deb-src http://http.us.debian.org/debian stable main contrib non-free > deb-src http://non-us.debian.org/debian-non-US stable/non-US main contrib > non-free Hope that helps, Justin Guerin -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe".
