Hi list,

Problem solved! 

Explanation: My intentions were not to mix Lenny and Etch together. 
I created sources.list a long time ago and never paid attention to its
content since it worked. --> It never caused problem when Etch was stable. 
I guess I was lucky. My luck ran out when Lenny became stable (and Etch 
became old stable).

So I cleaned up sources.list. It solved the problem.

Thank you Bob
Jacques
