Bug#109976: tetex-nonfree: It doesn't exist!

[Greg Kochanski <gpk@bell-labs.com>]

Package: tetex-nonfree
Version: N/A
Severity: grave

Tetex-nonfree is visible on the Debian web pages,
for example, http://packages.debian.org/stable/tex/tetex-nonfree.html .
However, apt-get can't get it:

gpklinux:/home/gpk# apt-get install tetex-nonfree
Reading Package Lists... Done
Building Dependency Tree... Done
Package tetex-nonfree has no available version, but exists in the database.
This typically means that the package was mentioned in a dependency and 
never uploaded, has been obsoleted or is not available with the contents 
of sources.list
However the following packages replace it:
  tetex-extra tetex-doc tetex-base 
  E: Package tetex-nonfree has no installation candidate
  gpklinux:/home/gpk#


BTW: I have no clue what the phrase "or is not available with the contents
of sources.list" means.
