I googled your answer and found some interesting reading about this. I worked 
the numbers a bit more and got it to work. However, this isnt the solution. To 
install boinc-client it would installed like 100 or so other things. Crazy! 
Well, Ill just stick with the old client.

Thanks for the help.
