upgrading debian

[Georgina Joyce]

Hi

It would be useful if you stated the responces your machine offered when
you issued the commands several people proffered.

Especially those from the first command 'apt-get update'.  It probably
down to e-mail clients etc but your sources file that you posted,
appeared to me, crumpled.  If your sources.list file isn't as it should
be.  You could always mv it to another directory or filename and run
apt-get update.  Apt will complain and provide a default one.

Apt is good at letting the user know what it does not like, what it does
like, whether it succeeds or fails.
