You appear not to have experimental in your sources.list. I have googled and there appears to be such a thing as an experimental repository. I didn't reply earlier because I don't really know, since I have never used experimental myself. But I wanted to spare the list from yet another email asking exactly the same thing. (3 so far today). If people don't reply it means one of: They don't feel inclined to reply They don't know They haven't looked at this list since your emails arrived Repeating yourself doesn't help and can irritate. It might be worth a visit to www.debian.org to read up on experimental. HTH Lisi -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-user-requ...@lists.debian.org with a subject of "unsubscribe". Trouble?
