A problem is that, and, I am not sure whether I indicated this in a
previous post with commands responses output, as the sources.list file
content showed, I had included the backports text line, and, commented
it out, in the sources.list file,
"
# deb http://httpredir.debian.org/debian squeeze-backports main contrib non-free
"
as, with that line operational in the sources.list file, apt
consistently returned a "Not Found" type error, for the backports
path.
The backports path is as cited on one of the web pages with
instructions for installing bumblebee.
I am not sure, but I think that backports for squeeze, may have been
eliminated, as part of the LTS process.
