Retrieving that particular session is probably not possible now, but for the future, if you want to record your terminal activity there are several solutions. On the other hand, if you can't reproduce the problem chances are it was either transient (can happen, especially when networks are involved, and seems to be the case here), or user error (e.g. user typed in wrong command). Which is why a copy-paste of what you see in the terminal is so important ;) Kind regards, Andrei -- http://wiki.debian.org/FAQsFromDebianUser Offtopic discussions among Debian users and developers: http://lists.alioth.debian.org/mailman/listinfo/d-community-offtopic http://nuvreauspam.ro/gpg-transition.txt signature.asc Description: Digital signature

Re: Source.list URL
Joe, Yes, that is what happened; I couldn't get a package. I tried a couple times and it did not find the package. I tried several hours later (just so I could document the steps) and it worked.

The syntax for an entry in the sources.list file isn't what I would call obvious. What you're seeing is in fact correct, even though the dists directory doesn't appear in it.
