having written the newbiedoc 'apt-get-intro' i feel a bit
sheepish asking this -- but i can't get apt-get update to yank
the postgresql files from people.debian.org/~elphick...
with my /etc/apt/sources.list set to include
deb http://people.debian.org/~elphick woody main contrib non-free
i try
apt-get update
and i get errors such as
Failed to fetch
http://people.debian.org/~elphick/dists/woody/main/binary-i386/Packages
404 Not Found
Failed to fetch
http://people.debian.org/~elphick/dists/woody/contrib/binary-i386/Packages

in nosing around people.debian.org/~elphick/ via web browser
(galeon, of course :) ) i see that there is indeed no 'dists'
subdirectory there. there IS a repository/ subdir, which is
mentioned on the ~elphick/ page as "aptable" and i tried that,
too:
deb http://people.debian.org/~elphick/repository woody main contrib non-free
(/repository appended) but with similar dismal results.
what's the magic password for my sources.list? :) the original
announcement on 13-dec-02 was a bit terse, so of course i thought
i'd be able to divine the answers. pooh!

DEBIAN NEWBIE TIP #43 from Guy Geens <[EMAIL PROTECTED]>
:
Wondering how to SELECT YOUR DEFAULT TEXT EDITOR? You can set
your prefered editor with:
update-alternatives --config editor
Also it helps to set your EDITOR environment variable:
export EDITOR=`which vim`
