apt issues.. (missing packages)


Hey all.

I am baffled by this new problem I am having with debian. Havent had a problem in years and now this one is kicking my butt.

I am trying to install bitchx via apt.

Preface :: I know i could just go get the source and compile it or even download the binaries from their site and be done with it, but that would defeat the purpose of trying to figure out what could be wrong.

Here is all the relavant information.

---------------------------------

Now I have install Debian countless times, and have never had a problem installing bitchx. I am able to install all other packages I have wanted fine, just not bitchx.

Is anyone else seeing this problem. Have you had any luck fixing it?
