Yes, that is corect. I cannot install _any_ packages from that
repository. I noticed however that you are getting the "i386"-package.
I need to be getting the "amd64"-package which is named:
http://debian-multimedia.org/pool/main/v/videotrans/videotrans_1.6.0-0.0_amd64.deb.
Maybe my problem has something to do with that?
When I issue the same command as you did above, I get this output:
todu:/home/tommy# aptitude install videotrans

Do you want to continue? [Y/n/?]
I'll try to use a mirror as the repository as Andrew suggested in a
previous mail, as soon as I understand the instructions on how to do
that. It could perhaps work but the odds are probably low because this
hasn't worked for at least two days now.
> maybe it's temporary.
The problem has been persistant for at least two days now. I've also
tried this repository line as suggested by a google search, with the
same result:
deb http://ftp.sunet.se/pub/os/Linux/distributions/debian-multimedia/
stable main
I also tried this just in case:
deb ftp://ftp.sunet.se/pub/os/Linux/distributions/debian-multimedia/ stable main
But that gave the same result, too.
