Sean, I am only using the 'apt-get install' command to load things like an ssh server, LAMP server and FTP server. I ended up reloading the OS, and this time I only have a couple of 'dependency' problems. I'll probably leave those alone as the server seems to be functioning as it is. Maybe I'll take a look at them once I understand what I'm doing more.

Tony, can you give us an example of the commands you are using to install packages, the location of the packages, etc? As long as you are not trying to install anything too exotic (i.e. not in the default repositories) it should be as simple as 'apt-get install <package_name>'.
