problem with security page

[aty@mintaka.sdsu.edu (Andrew T. Young)]

The standard security page at

	http://www.debian.org/security/

says:

You can use apt to easily get the latest security updates. This requires a
line such as

    deb http://security.debian.org/ sarge/updates main contrib non-free 

in your /etc/apt/sources.list file.


However, when I put this line in the file, I get the following error
messages on running  aptitude update:

W: Couldn't stat source package list http://security.debian.org

It seems that I have to put "stable" rather than "sarge" in the deb line
in /etc/apt/sources.list .

Please check that the information on the security page is correct.
