I'm having trouble installing some packages now I switched to unstable.


Relavent lines from /etc/ap/sources.list

deb http://mirror.aarnet.edu.au/pub/debian/ stable main non-free contrib 
deb http://mirror.aarnet.edu.au/pub/debian/ stable/non-US main non-free
contrib 
deb http://mirror.aarnet.edu.au/pub/debian/ unstable main non-free
contrib 
deb http://mirror.aarnet.edu.au/pub/debian/ unstable/non-US main
non-free contrib 


An example of the problem: (I ran this right after apt-get update)

samedi:/tmp# apt-get --fix-missing install ssh2

Is it normal for packages to be missing like this in unstable?
