Strange things happening here too. I am using the following sources.list: deb ftp://unix.hensa.ac.uk:/mirrors/debian unstable main contrib non-free deb http://ftp1.us.debian.org/debian unstable main contrib non-free When I tried to install mutt, I got this: Reading Package Lists... Done Building Dependency Tree... Done Package mutt has no available version, but exists in the database. This typically means that the package was mentioned in a dependency and never uploaded, or that it is an obsolete package. E: Package mutt has no installation candidate Whatever package I try, I get the same response. If I access the hensa site manually via Netscape, all the packages are there and accessible.
