More progress.

In another recent forum I found advice to change all references in /etc/apt/sources.list from

ftp2.de.debian.org
to
ftp.de.debian.org

That seemed to get things going but still having problem.

After doing 'apt-get update' and 'apt-get -f install' I still get some messages about not finding packages.

Is this still a problem with /etc/apt/sources.list??
