See this link: http://packages.debian.org/stable/The archive servers are up, and have been for weeks. I'm mystified: please go into more detail about the error you're seeing.
it says: packages.debian.org is down at the moment.
However, I found another user's post which answered my question. I became root and used apt-setup to choose a different mirror. Then it worked as it should. :)
Thanks,
