My apt sources.list was created by the monolithic.iso d-i from the sarge repository
and I haven't made any changes to it since the install:
#deb http://debian-amd64.alioth.debian.org/sarge sarge main
deb http://debian-amd64.alioth.debian.org/sarge testing main non-free contrib
deb-src http://debian-amd64.alioth.debian.org/sarge testing main non-free contrib
It wouldn't surprise me to learn that I've been using the wrong repository. I've done dumber
things!
TIA!
