It was very strange that packages would suddenly disappear when I knew they were there. I forgot to run: aptitude update That solved the problem. Obviously, make sure to put an http or ftp mirror in your sources.list since commenting out the CD-ROM will make that source unavailable. When I finally figured it out, it showed something over 21,000 new packages, so apparently not running "aptitude update" makes it forget everything. I don't think Etch did that but the Etch server is stable and I make it a point to not change anything unless I absolutely must!
