If you have this as the contents of /etc/apt/sources.list it is totally invalid, which is why you get > E: The list of sources could not be read. Delete all its contents and, for now, have deb http://ftp.us.debian.org/debian/ squeeze main contrib non-free as the only line. Then apt-get update, apt-get upgrade, reboot and apt-get dist-upgrade. How well this will go I do not know because it isn't too easy to tell what you are upgrading from. The output of the command 'cat /etc/issue' would inform you and us. -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-user-requ...@lists.debian.org with a subject of "unsubscribe". Trouble?
