Hmm, unless you have the the sources labeled as them... IOW like this: ## Old Stable - Debian (currently Woody) #deb http://ftp.us.debian.org/debian woody main contrib non-free #deb-src http://ftp.us.debian.org/debian woody main contrib non-free ## Stable - Debian (currently Sarge) #deb http://ftp.us.debian.org/debian sarge main contrib non-free #deb-src http://ftp.us.debian.org/debian sarge main contrib non-free ## Testing - Debian (currently Etch) #deb http://ftp.us.debian.org/debian etch main contrib non-free #deb-src http://ftp.us.debian.org/debian etch main contrib non-free ## Unstable - Debian (always SID, or Still In Developement) #deb http://ftp.us.debian.org/debian sid main contrib non-free #deb-src http://ftp.us.debian.org/debian sid main contrib non-free Then they do work. And I just tested it here on the very machine I am typing from... and it does work with the release labels. Perhaps I should make a second sources.list this way.
