Hopefully someone more knowledgeable will correct me if I'm wrong, but I believe the confusion here is that you're trying to add a line for security updates and another for non-us security updates, which is unnecessary. I believe the one line for security.debian.org is all you need to get potato's security updates including updates for packages found in non-us. So rather than trying to change that second line to something correct, just remove it. James' suggested change would make that line a valid non-us line, which you say you already have. I hope I helped clear up the misunderstanding; in any case, forgive me for butting in. good times, Vineet -- http://www.doorstop.net/ -- "[T]he ad skips.... It's theft....
