How do I know which package is which?

[Soo-Hyun Choi]

I have been getting following error when I enable 'universe' from
/etc/apt/sources.list file. What kind of this error is?

soohyunc at quokka:~ $ sudo apt-cache search gnuplot
Password:
devscripts - Scripts to make the life of a Debian Package maintainer easier
W: Couldn't stat source package list http://archive.ubuntu.com
warty/universe Packages
(/var/lib/apt/lists/archive.ubuntu.com_ubuntu_dists_warty_universe_binary-i386_Packages)
- stat (2 No such file or directory)
soohyunc at quokka:~ $ 


My sources.list looks like this:

deb cdrom:[Ubuntu 4.10 _Warty Warthog_ - Preview i386 Binary-1
(20041020)]/ unstable main restricted


deb http://archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu warty main restricted
deb-src http://archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu warty main restricted

deb-src http://archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu warty universe

deb http://security.ubuntu.com/ubuntu warty-security main restricted
deb-src http://security.ubuntu.com/ubuntu warty-security main restricted



And my kernel is:
soohyunc at quokka:~ $ uname -a
Linux quokka 2.6.8.1-5-k7 #1 Mon Mar 14 22:06:28 UTC 2005 i686 GNU/Linux
soohyunc at quokka:~ $ 


Thank you.
