Dear sirs,, I hope you all can help me. I am a average linux user . I manage to install it and its main packages on a AMD 2,4 GHZ with 256 RAM MB. Everything is working fine . I use a brazilian version, namely Linux 2.4.25-klg #1 SMP Ter Abr 6 09:28:24 BRT 2004 i686 GNU/Linux. The problem is that today I tried installing postgresql but I always get the errors as follows: QUOTE root@ericohg:/# apt-get update Atingido http://ftp.fr.debian.org testing/main Packages Atingido http://ftp.fr.debian.org testing/main Release Atingido http://ftp.fr.debian.org testing/contrib Packages Atingido http://ftp.fr.debian.org testing/contrib Release Obtendo:1 http://www.backports.org stable/postgresql Packages [5288B] Obtendo:2 http://www.backports.org stable/postgresql Release [141B] Atingido http://ftp.fr.debian.org testing/non-free Packages Atingido http://ftp.fr.debian.org testing/non-free Release Atingido http://ftp.fr.debian.org testing/non-US/main Packages Atingido http://ftp.fr.debian.org testing/non-US/main Release Atingido http://ftp.fr.debian.org testing/non-US/contrib Packages Atingido http://ftp.fr.debian.org testing/non-US/contrib Release Atingido http://ftp.fr.debian.org testing/non-US/non-free Packages Atingido http://ftp.fr.debian.org testing/non-US/non-free Release Baixados 5429B em 6s (845B/s) Lendo Lista de Pacotes...

Although most of the output is in portuguese, one can learn that " line 12: Acquire: command not found" is a mistake that i can not find a solution to install Postgresql correctly. I have been in many lists an web but I fail to find a hint to correct that. Do any of you have any hint to solve this problem? Thanks in advance.
