Probbably these lines read as deb ..., not dep ... - right? 2. Did you run apt-get update, as you have been told? 3. Have you always been running a sid system, or did you (partly!?) upgrade? 4. Do you have an uptodate sid system at all? 5. Are you aware of the fact that sid == unstable and anything might be broken at any time? 6. Well, and then debian-mentors is not necessarily the proper list. You might want to try debian-user according to the problems you are experiencing. HTH, Michael
