Thanks Ziyad. I must now correct my previous statement, it does not do
that with every package. The only ones it did that with was when I
tried aptitude or apt-get "upgrade"
The packages are:
bzip2 gzip libbz2-1.0 libgnutls11 libnspr4 libnss3 libpq3 mozilla-firefox
mozilla-firefox-gnome-support mozilla-firefox-locale-en-gb openoffice.org
openoffice.org-bin openoffice.org-gtk-gnome openoffice.org-l10n-en
openoffice.org-thesaurus-en-us tcpdump ttf-opensymbol
and I just tried it again, and it did not do that. And I have not
updated the package list since, so I don't know what was going on. But
to answer your question, before I used a sources.list file I got from
the net, and couldn't tell you what all was in it, (unless I find it
again ofcourse) but in the one I am currently using, it is the stock
from the install with univerrse and multiverse added, for MOL packages.
