Is this fairly new? I had never had a problem before, but I may not have been trying to do anything with multimedia on Sarge before. I tried this, but used the line: deb http://www.debian-multimedia.org sarge main aptitude could not get the Packages file from that source. I checked: http://www.debian-multimedia.org and there's a note to use: deb http://mirror.home-dn.net/debian-multimedia sarge main instead if you're still on Sarge. I've tried that a couple times to be sure, but aptitude still can't get the Packages file. I downloaded debian-multimedia-keyring and installed it with dpkg. Then when I did an update, there was no problem reading the Packages file. From there, installing lame worked perfectly. Thanks for the help on that!
