Not likely. I use the URL regularly without difficulty, but when I try
unstable or testing, it becomes invisible when I run aptitude
update. I can go back and forth, installing a file from that site,
never with any delay or difficulty, and when I switch to the testing
or unstable, it always fails. I check the archive on line, and it does
have those archives. I've been working on this on and off for a week,
and so its not just an unusual glitch. I"ve tried many URLs, but all
won't stat with testing and unstable distributions.
Thanks for your input. Hope some lurker might have some suggestion
about what to check. Spent a good part of the morning going back over
apt documentation, and there's nothing in it that seemed helpful. I
don't see that /etc/apt/apt.conf needs editing, but maybe I'm wrong.
