Thanks all. I finally got things straightened out...there were a few typos in the original document and I made a few trial and error runs on them and now have them working.

I'm having a problem understanding the architecture of apt sources
and have difficulty in getting packages with apt and dselect.
According to the APT HOWTO, 2.1, The /etc/apt/sources.list file
it says: (quote)
"The entries in this file normally follows this format:"
"deb-http://site.http.org/debian distribution section1 section2 section3"
"deb-src http://site.http.org/debian distribution section1 section2 section3"
Question---isn't 'site.http' supposed to be 'http.site' ?

The following sources are copied directly from my /etc/apt/sources.list. It seems to me that there are errors
such as / either missing or in the wrong place.
Could someone comment on whether or not the sources are correctly
structured as is or what the error is?
