I haven't tried apt-get. I used dselect, with mixed results. Like
Per, I ended up downloading a Packages.gz file for i386. When I changed
the access settings to point directly to the right Packages.gz, it
sort of worked. The packages file does not seem to get updated
as fast as things are added to the archive, because it did not
recognize my Python-* Tk-* or Tcl-* stuff (which was in the archive)
and listed them all as "obsolete"....
