I know that doesn't help you, but just in case someone who _can_ fix that for the better is listening: Manually needing to enter information about catalogs is bad (URL, distribution, component). How about some way to just be able to open some special "debian catalog description" file with the web browser and that will add a catalogue automagically? I can think two ways of implementing that: 1) invent a mime type for debian-catalog and have the handler add the catalog (_without_ asking any questions), or 2) use fake debian binary packages that [are not installed but] add the catalog in their post-installation function.

No, it works for me that way. I just updated again, and just for reference, one of the catalogs that worked is: Web address: http://bgran.net/etrunko/apt Distribution: mistral Components: user Enabled: x cheers, Danny
