    Wow; that's cool, but it brings up another, growing problem.

    I set up this desktop machine, with Dapper, and glommed-onto someone
else's changes to /etc/apt/sources.list, which seemed to be complete. I
keep having to look at it, even though it's all pointing to Canonical,
there are always SOME packages I can't seem to find.  The search you did
(apt-cache search denyhosts) and got:

brian at ws01:~$ apt-cache show denyhosts
W: Unable to locate package denyhosts
E: No packages found

    Yet this machine uses all the packages I've needed for a long time,
including the RestrictedFormats stuff for the media.  It's maddening.
I'm not changing the sources.list file, but I don't have full access to
the repos. (And let's be fair- I really don't understand them
completely, either- that doesn't help.)

    Here's what I've got:

    I'm seeing "universe" in there in a couple of places- how come I
don't see the packages?
