..and that says you *could* install them. If it was a simple typo, what was
the error that you received when you tried to install?

Again, what errors--if any--did you receive the first time? Just saying "it
didn't work and it's dpkg's fault" isn't very helpful. I was able to install
those packages without a problem in Lenny and Sid.
