It looks to me as though I got the second line of my sources list wrong - it
looked wrong at the time I did it as well. What ought it to be? I have:
deb
http://ftp.de.debian.org/debian/ sarge main contrib non-free
deb
http://ftp.de.debian.org/debian/-security sarge/updates main contrib
non-free
# MARILLAT NON-FREE
deb
http://www.debian-multimedia.org sarge main
TIA
Lisi
