Derek,

I enabled Hardy-proposed and ran apt-get update. Everything seems to be 
fine again. I was even able to install gramofile and it's dependencies 
without problem. So, you were right, I am past the problem. I wouldn't 
mind know what caused the problem though in the first place.

Thanks,
Rick
