Thanks.
Here's my /etc/apt/souces.list:

------------------------------------------------------------------------
#deb file:///cdrom/ sarge main

deb cdrom:[Debian GNU/Linux 3.1 r0a _Sarge_ - Official i386 Binary-2 (20050607)]/ unstable contrib main
deb cdrom:[Debian GNU/Linux 3.1 r0a _Sarge_ - Official i386 Binary-1 (20050607)]/ unstable contrib main


# deb http://security.debian.org/ stable/updates main contrib
------------------------------------------------------------------------


. I made two similar lines with 'deb-src cdrom' in place of 'deb cdrom', but when I do

 # apt-get build-dep emacs21

, now I get the following:

Reading Package Lists... Done
Building Dependency Tree... Done
E: Could not open file /var/lib/apt/lists/Debian%20GNU_Linux%203.1%20r0a%20%5fSarge%5f%20-%20Official%20i386%20Binary-2%20(20050607)_dists_unstable_contrib_source_Sources - open (2 No such file or directory)

. I really don't know how to handle this, it's my first step with Debian and the
apt-get tool...
Please, a hint!

Thanks,
Rodolfo
