Thanks Tez, Your's the first reply I've gotten on my
last few posts. If I had followed the "source-o-matic"
link explicitly, I wouldn't have gotten in trouble.
However, both commands showed "no ultimately trusted
keys found". Is that an issue? And an aptitude update
showed:
Hit ftp://cipherfunk.org dapper Release
Get:6 ftp://cipherfunk.org dapper/main Packages
Ign ftp://cipherfunk.org dapper/main Packages
Hit ftp://cipherfunk.org dapper/main Packages

and
Ign http://wine.budgetdedicated.com dapper Release.gpg
....
Hit http://wine.budgetdedicated.com dapper Release
....
Ign http://wine.budgetdedicated.com dapper/main
Packages
Hit http://wine.budgetdedicated.com dapper/main
Packages

I think the Ign means that the server mirror could not
connect and I'm not sure there still isn't a problem.
Do I need to install a key for the wine mirror?
Now, if someone would tell me how to reply to a Digest
listing without all the cutting and pasting I have to
do to compose a reply, I would be happier. It's one of
the unanswered posts.
Thanks again,
