Re: apt-get error
Clean pelase this all and fill the following four lines into your sources.list
deb http://volatile.debian.org/debian-volatile lenny/volatile main
contrib non-free
deb http://security.debian.org/ lenny/updates main contrib non-free
deb http://ftp.debian.org/debian/ lenny main contrib non-free
deb http://debian-multimedia.org/ lenny main
to do this run the following as root
# nano /etc/apt/sources.list
or
# gedit /etc/apt/sources.list
NB: please run $ man sources.list as user for more info
