Compiling Under Debian

[Kerry Hoath]

often 404 errors are caused by either an out of date mirror, or one that is 
in the mids of syncing.
It can also be caused by not running an apt-get update before you install 
your packages.
Lenny is a moving target so if you want reliable mirrors run testing.

Packages change so often in lenny that the packages files and the package 
pool can be out of date for a time.

Testing tends to be less of a moving target; although not as up to date as 
unstable.
I run Ubuntu here these days as I like the 6 monthly release cycle but i'm 
not running speakup on my boxes; I ssh in from Windows boxes as the servers 
are behind a closed door.
Regards, Kerry.

Well, kernel.org won out.  I got all my packages installed and I even
had to go after espeak-dev to make things all right.  It would be nice
if all mirrors were complete and not have these broken links.

Anyway when the packages are available the system works pretty cool.
