Finding Default Lenny Source URL's?

Yes, I searched Google and Debian and somehow I managed to blow away or mess up my source.list. I am running Debian Lenny (Testing) and wanted to just add the default main and security repositories in the file but can't find them any where and not sure how I am searching incorrectly for this.

Anyone know where I can find this info?

Go to the Apt Howto, section 2.1. This is the link:

http://www.debian.org/doc/manuals/ap...s-sources.list

Copy from the second example paragraph, but replace 'stable' with 'testing'. It should look something like this:

Code:
deb http://http.us.debian.org/debian testing main contrib non-free
deb http://security.debian.org testing/updates main contrib non-free
Hopefully that will work.

Perhaps I need a 2nd set of eyes because I can't even do an APT-GET update for some strange reason.

# Primary repository
deb ftp://ftp.debian.org/debian lenny main contrib non-free
deb-src ftp://ftp.debian.org/debian lenny main contrib non-free

# Security
deb http://security.debian.org lenny/updates main contrib non-free
deb-src http://security.debian.org lenny/updates main contrib non-free

# Unofficial multimedia
deb http://www.debian-multimedia.org lenny main

# Non-Free Software
deb http://ftp.us.debian.org/debian testing main contrib non-free


Here you can see my source.list and I get the following when I try and update...

Cool - that did the tick. Now the only thing it bitches about is GPG key for the following:

Usually solved by installing the "debian-multimedia-keyring" package.
