Thanks for your answer, Goswin, but I had seen that page. Did not help. 
I tried a few of those sources, and still got the same error message. I 
got out of it using a source with debian_amd64 in it. I know it is 
outdated know, but it worked...sort of! Anyhow, I could get a running 
system from them, and then I changed the sources to 
ftp.fr.debian.org/debian, dist-upgrade, and I am happy with a nice sid box.
Thanks again
Thierry
