I have to issue a big mea culpa on that one. I was only slightly 
panicking, because there was a job that needed to be done, and I thought 
I would never make such a rookie mistake.

Well, rookie mistake it was. Just a typo in sources.list, with 
"multiverse multiverse" instead of "universe multiverse". Fixed the 
typo, and everything runs smoothly now.

All's well that ends well. I guess I've pretty much made a complete fool 
of myself :o)

Cheers,

Niki
