Um:

Sorry, I'll be more clear. :) There's no 'mgetty' in Unstable(Sid).
There is no mgetty-viewfax, there is no mgetty-fax, there is no
mgetty-voice. :) Each and every one of those packages gives:

Package mgetty has no available version, but exists in the database.
This typically means that the package was mentioned in a dependency and 
never uploaded, has been obsoleted or is not available with the contents

of sources.list

When I try to 'apt-get install' it. I've checked the mirrors, too.
They're not there. They're available for Stable(Potato), but not
Unstable(Sid).

Thanks anyways,
