I obtained the full set of Ubuntu disks, installed the desktop

This means I would have to over write the desktop installation. I
tried using the Ubuntu POOL directory on the sever CD but although
it looks like it was installing it turns out it was not. So I
tried using aptitude which very nicely rushed off to the Ubuntu
repository. But I want it to run off to the Debian repository
because there are a lot of special packages (like OCTAVE) and others.
Ah Ted....
If you are running Ubuntu you really should be talking to the Ubuntu
users list. There are helpful people there too.
No need to mix and match repositories like you are wanting to do -
that way lies ruin....
Start here - https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Repositories/Ubuntu
The extra repositories that are not enabled by default will get you
what you need.
On the other hand - if you really want Debian packages - then install
Debian not Ubuntu....
I'm new here - but I suspect the Debian people would rather not
support Ubuntu users.
