I tried the upgrade route first and it went about as painlessly
as one could hope on one system. That system is the least
important one to me so I did the upgrade on it first.
Then it was time to upgrade another which is a little
more important and it has almost gone okay except for the
following:

Well, that's not exactly a full update so I tried it
again several times with the same results. It makes me wonder if
my sources.list file is good. Here it is:
#deb file:///cdrom/ etch main
deb http://ftp.debian.org/debian/ etch main
deb-src http://ftp.debian.org/debian/ etch main
deb http://security.debian.org/ etch/updates main
deb http://http.us.debian.org/debian etch main contrib non-free
deb http://non-us.debian.org/debian-non-US etch/non-US main contrib non-free
deb http://security.debian.org etch/updates main contrib non-free
It is the non-us.debian.org/debian-non-US etch/non-US main contrib
non-free
line that appears to be giving trouble.
When I get it working, can I just re-run apt-get update
and then apt-get dist-upgrade to finish the job?
Thanks.
