apt-get package list problem
Hello, I added the line for security updates to my sources list as mentioned on the security web site. Now I get the following message whenever I run apt-get: (voyager):/home/frank# apt-get install kde-base-crypto Reading Package Lists... Done Building Dependency Tree... Done W: Couldn't stat source package list 'http://security.debian.org potato/updates/non-US Packages' (/var/state/apt/lists/security.debian.org_dists_potato_updates_non-US_binary-i386_Packages) - stat (2 No such file or directory) W: You may want to run apt-get update to correct these missing files E: Couldn't find package kde-base-crypto Unfortunately running apt-get update does not solve the problem, I get the same error message. How do I get the package list for non-US? Here is my sources.list: deb cdrom:[Debian GNU/Linux 2.2 r3 _Potato_ - Official i386 Binary-3 (20010427)] / unstable contrib main non-US/contrib non-US/main deb cdrom:[Debian GNU/Linux 2.2 r3 _Potato_ - Official i386 Binary-2 (20010427)] / unstable contrib main non-US/contrib non-US/main deb cdrom:[Debian GNU/Linux 2.2 r3 _Potato_ - Official i386 Binary-1 (20010427)] / unstable contrib main non-US/contrib non-US/main deb http://security.debian.org potato/updates main contrib non-free non-US #deb http://www.openoffice.de/debian/ potato main deb ftp://ftp.mirror.ac.uk/sites/ftp.debian.org/debian/ potato non-free deb ftp://ftp.wh9.tu-dresden.de/pub/linux/debian-stuff/KDE2 potato main crypto optional Thanx, Frank
