You want dh-lisp/squeeze-backports, which then should result in: $ apt-get install dh-lisp/squeeze-backports [...] E: Release 'squeeze-backports' for 'dh-lisp' was not found And you really messed up your bug report by embedding the bug email with its headers inside your real email. -- Julian Andres Klode - Debian Developer, Ubuntu Member See http://wiki.debian.org/JulianAndresKlode and http://jak-linux.org/.Attachment: pgp9De9_eQCa9.pgp
