I ran into this problem after upgrading as well. I'm guessing that you've set your 'debian' directory to be /debian/hamm. This will get the package files but not download them :> set up dselect's access like this. ############################### Enter ftp site [ftp.fuller.edu]: Use passive mode [y]: Enter username [ftp]: If you are using anonymous ftp to retrieve files, enter your email address for use as a password. Otherwise enter "?" and dpkg-ftp will prompt you each time. Enter password [EMAIL PROTECTED]: Enter debian directory [/debian]: Note: order here is important. Package files are scanned in order so later distributions will override earlier ones. So put stable before unstable. Enter space seperated list of distributions to get [hamm/hamm hamm/non-free hamm/contrib]: ############################### Worked like a charm for me once I did that :> Micro$oft, what do you want to spend today? -- TO UNSUBSCRIBE FROM THIS MAILING LIST: e-mail the word "unsubscribe" to [EMAIL PROTECTED] .
