apt-get and windowmaker 0.60.0



Hello!

I'm running slink (and apt 0.3.7) , but am interested in trying out the new version of WindowMaker. So I
went looking around though the WM online docs and found the following URL which had the debs.

http://master.debian.org/~mmagallo/packages

All is good so far. So I download the main wmaker*.deb and do a dpkg -I on it and see that it
depends on libc6. Assuming that libc6 is not the same thing as glibc2.1 (since my /lib/libc has
a version of 6 at the end), I descided to take the plunge.  He has a packages.gz file so I added
the line:

deb http://master.debian.org ~mmagallo/packages

to my /etc/apt/sources.list
When I run 'apt-get update', everything works fine.
When I run 'apt-get install wmaker libwraster1 wmsound' I get a bunch of errors that look like this:
Err http://master.debian.org ~mmagallo/packages/ libwraster1 0.60.0-1
  404 Not found.

My theory is I have a malformed apt line.

So...the inevitable qestions:
1. What would be the proper way to form the sources.list line?
2. Do I have no business playing with these debs anyway?
3. Am I correct in my assumption that libc6 <> glibc2.1 (or whatever potato is running at)?
4. Is there a better place to find wmaker 0.60.0 debs?
5. (I'll sneak this one in) Where can I find updated slink debs for gnome?

Thanks in advance!!!
