Ahhhhh. Examples are a trouble-shooter's friend!
That is strange. It shows up with
# apt-cache show dbf2sql
on my box, so it might be that your sources.list file is missing
something. Post the relevant lines from that file and maybe someone can
point out a flaw. Also, if you get any error output from apt-get, that
can be helpful.
I know it's a no-brainer, but did you remember to "apt-get update" before
you tried to "apt-get install dbf2sql"?
