Hi Rexx
Here is my /etc/apt/sources.list:

It started out as etch, but as you can see, I have added lenny, and have, at times, used other repositories including sid. When finished, I have commented them out, as you can get conflicts with eg stable as opposed to subversion packages. Every time you change this file, run "apt-get update".
I am no expert so would probably not be able to provide guidance on your version of this file, but I have resolved this sort of issue by commenting out unnecessary repositories here. Perhaps you should try working on this file directly.
Please be careful when you work as root. I always keep a copy of the last version of this file by
Code:
# cp sources.list bksources.list
in case I mess it up.
Hope that helps!
