This is the message that you get if you don't run apt-get update after editing /etc/apt/sources.list. If you miss the "deb" off the start of the line, then it will be ignored by apt-cache search, but apt-get update will give the error message: E: Type 'http://cvs.parisc-linux.org/download/linux-2.4/autobuild/debian-64-smp/' is not known in on line 1 in source list /etc/apt/sources.list Err, and there's a typo in the error message, by the looks of it! :-) -- Stuart Brady
