[plug] Debian Sarge AMD64 Update Problem

[Paul Dean]

Hi Lance,

Just found your problem....

The link http://mirror.pacific.net.au/linux/debian-amd64/debian/ is 404
even in a browser, the pacific.net.au archive is not available.

Seems that the http side is not being published, but I found this for
you ftp://ftp.au.debian.org/debian-amd64.

If you are running amd64 kernel then
http://mirror.pacific.net.au/debian/ sarge main non-free contrib should
pick up all the amd64 packages, "cow smarts".

Apt check the system arch and matches what packages it needs.

Thanks

Paul Dean.

You'll wish that you had done some of the hard things when they were
easier to do.
