I noticed that the sources.list contents which were posted listed 'nonfree', with no hyphen. Every other sources.list reference to non-free I've ever seen has included the hyphen, and a quick test with dropping the hyphen on my own system results in errors on 'apt-get update'. I suspect that the omitted hyphen means his system is not actually seeing non-free at all. I would suggest adding the hyphen and trying again. -- The Wanderer The reasonable man adapts himself to the world; the unreasonable one persists in trying to adapt the world to himself.
