Hi Ken,

is ftp2.sourceforge.net a debian mirror?

Try this, and only this, line in your sources.list:

deb http://ftp.de.debian.org/debian/ testing main non-free contrib

and an "apt-get update"

what´s the exact output?

Do you use an "apt.conf"? is the syntax correct (man apt.conf)

Florian

p.s: Sorry Ken, i forgot to post it to the list, so you´ll recieve this mail
two times

p.p.s: try debian-user mailing list. the better place for your problem. and
definitely better guys to help you!
