Re: Error download hostlist

[Christian Grothoff]

Hi Guilherme,

Did you actually update your /etc/apt/sources.list to include
testing/unstable packages? Looks like you're _only_ on stable, which
cannot satisfy our dependencies.

/etc/apt/sources.list should contain lines like:

deb http://ftp.ch.debian.org/debian/ testing main
deb http://ftp.ch.debian.org/debian/ unstable main
