packages are there. when i viewed this mirror with firefox, sarge and
sid have the packages but not etch. i have no idea why this is?. go
see for yourself- http://ftp.us.debian.org/debian/.
i think this is very important for the developers. thank you
I can verify this. Those two packages show up in apt-cache and
synaptic. If I do a dist-upgrade (running Sid) it lists those packages
as going to be updated. The download fails. Browser over to the
packages, and there is no nvidia-glx or nvidia-kernel package that is
listed in synaptic.

So what gives? How can a package NOT exist, but show up as being
upgradeable?
