I am installing Debian on a new hard drive I bought. I have a PC with anAMD Athlon 64 3500+ chip. I installed Debian stable (4.0) amd64 port. Iupdated it to unstable. I put "xv-doc_3.10a-1duo1_all.deb" and"xv_3.10a-1duo+etch1_amd64.deb" into "/usr/local/src/debian". The file/etc/apt/sources.list contains the line:


  deb file:/usr/local/src/ debian/

"apt-get install xv" failed. Does anyone know what I did wrong?
