I've just tried it on another machine. It's in there in the file! I get it
every way I try to display the text - through zcat, through gunzip and
cat/less/head/more and perl {open(guide.text), print}...

I see that you included apt 1.4 in the official distribution, what about
removing the old version?

And another suggestion, what about including the path to the alternate
download sites (http://www.debian.org/~jgg/mastersourcelist)in
/etc/apt/sources.list?

It's just what I get installed when I do dpkg -i apt_0.0.17-1bo0_i386.deb.
The same is true with the trailing slash problem (see your comments
below).
