/etc/apt/sources.list

[Jude DaShiell]

Gllenn and anyone else, this may help.  Probably the reason you can't get 
proftp with apt-get is it's not in the type of distribution apt-get is now 
pointed at.  You may want to run dselect and choose 0 as your first choice 
and override your original sources.list file.  The dselect program will 
then help you make a new sources.list.  What I have in mine is all three 
of the types stable; testing, and unstable.  On each of those types 
already described, I have main; contrib, and non-free.  So that makes 9 
entries in my sources.list file and I added the lines in README.non-US for 
the sources.list and I'll have to find the lines for security.debian.org 
to add to it too.  Once you get that set up, exit out of dselect with 
choice 6, and try apt-get again.  Two other packages to get but only after 
you've done that are bastille and psad.  Once those get installed, just 
run InteractiveBastille and bastille will not only set itself up, it will 
also set up psad for you too.  Interface inside of Bastille now is dodgey 
but likely to improve.
