also possible that your dist is old. so you can run
apt-get dist-upgrade ( once )

I am attaching the /etc/apt/sources.list which I use (Debian Sarge being
used there).
After copying it to your /etc/apt, activate aptitude (if you didn't
already install it, then you'll have to use Yedidyah's advice to install
it).
When you are in aptitude, hit 'u', search for and select the packages
which you want, hit 'U', hit 'g' and again 'g'.

Hi,
I found a distribution of MythTV that was based on Knoppix. At the end of
the instalation it converts itself to a Debian system. It sorely needs
some updates and additions.
I've never used a debian system before, I went from Slackware directly to
dead rat. Is there an easy way to upgrade it? I tried to add an ftp client
by typing "apt-get install ftp" and got nowhere.
Where is that exactly? That is, what does it say?
You should have some relevant lines in your /etc/apt/sources.list,
depending on what version and what mirror you want to use. I personally
have
deb http://mirror.hamakor.org.il/pub/mirrors/debian sid main contrib
You might want "sarge" instead of "sid" for the stable version.
Then do 'apt-get update' to update apt's indexes, then 'apt-get install
package' should work. I personally prefer lftp over plain netkit-ftp.
