Yes, the marillat repo and the CD, but that's intentional (I added
'main' at the end of the file). Please tell me what is wrong exactly ?

apt-get does exactly the same thing as Synaptic, same error message on
the same packages. Synaptic is just the front end, it only relays the
apt messages... apt-get install is the same as clicking the reload
button in synaptic.
I do use apt-get and dpkg some times, but most of the time Synaptic is
much easier...
Can you send me your sources.list please ?
