Hrm, even after running 'apt-get update', it still gives me that and it doesn't throw me into tasksel: --- juan:~# apt-get update Get:1 http://mirrors.kernel.org unstable/main Packages [2141kB] Hit http://security.debian.org stable/updates/main Packages Hit http://security.debian.org stable/updates/main Release Hit http://security.debian.org stable/updates/contrib Packages Hit http://security.debian.org stable/updates/contrib Release Hit http://security.debian.org stable/updates/non-free Packages Hit http://security.debian.org stable/updates/non-free Release Hit http://non-us.debian.org unstable/non-US/main Packages Get:2 http://non-us.debian.org unstable/non-US/main Release [89B] Hit http://non-us.debian.org unstable/non-US/contrib Packages Get:3 http://non-us.debian.org unstable/non-US/contrib Release [92B] Hit http://non-us.debian.org unstable/non-US/non-free Packages Get:4 http://non-us.debian.org unstable/non-US/non-free Release [93B] Hit http://non-us.debian.org unstable/non-US/main Sources Get:5 http://non-us.debian.org unstable/non-US/main Release [91B] Hit http://non-us.debian.org unstable/non-US/contrib Sources Get:6 http://non-us.debian.org unstable/non-US/contrib Release [94B] Hit http://non-us.debian.org unstable/non-US/non-free Sources Get:7 http://non-us.debian.org unstable/non-US/non-free Release [95B] Get:8 http://mirrors.kernel.org unstable/main Release [82B] Hit http://mirrors.kernel.org unstable/non-free Packages Get:9 http://mirrors.kernel.org unstable/non-free Release [86B] Get:10 http://mirrors.kernel.org unstable/contrib Packages [67.5kB] Get:11 http://mirrors.kernel.org unstable/contrib Release [85B] Get:12 http://mirrors.kernel.org unstable/main Sources [873kB] Get:13 http://mirrors.kernel.org unstable/main Release [84B] Hit http://mirrors.kernel.org unstable/non-free Sources Get:14 http://mirrors.kernel.org unstable/non-free Release [88B] Get:15 http://mirrors.kernel.org unstable/contrib Sources [29.9kB] Get:16 http://mirrors.kernel.org unstable/contrib Release [87B] Fetched 3113kB in 11s (264kB/s) Reading Package Lists...

Did you update your available file? --- I did an 'apt-get update' right after the initial installation, followed by an 'apt-get upgrade'. When that didn't fix it, I'd done the 'apt-get dist-upgrade' after reading that there were some things in unstable that required that to be done. At any rate, thanks again for the help.
