Hello,

Added this to my source.list on Lenny:

        ----------------------------8<-----------------------------
        deb     http://apt.steve.org.uk/lenny lenny main non-free
        contrib
        deb-src http://apt.steve.org.uk/lenny lenny main non-free
        contrib
        ---------------------------/ 8<----------------------------
        
Imported the GPG key, ran "aptitude update". Apt only sees xen-tools
from standard Debian repositories:

        ----------------------------8<-----------------------------
        # apt-cache policy xen-tools
        xen-tools:
          Installed: (none)
          Candidate: 3.9-4
          Version table:
             3.9-4 0
                500 http://ftp.us.debian.org lenny/main Packages
        ---------------------------/ 8<----------------------------
        
Searching for package using the method below returns nothing:

        ----------------------------8<-----------------------------
        grep "Package: xen-tools" /var/lib/apt/lists/apt.steve.org.uk*
        ---------------------------/ 8<----------------------------

The above search does find skxmail and apt-cache concurs:

        ----------------------------8<-----------------------------
        # apt-cache policy skxmail
        skxmail:
          Installed: (none)
          Candidate: 0.1-3
          Version table:
             0.1-3 0
                500 http://apt.steve.org.uk lenny/main Packages
        ---------------------------/ 8<----------------------------

By contrast, on an Etch machine, I get:

        ----------------------------8<-----------------------------
        # apt-cache policy xen-tools
        xen-tools:
          Installed: 4.1-0
          Candidate: 4.1-0
          Version table:
             4.1-1 0
                450 http://ftp.us.debian.org testing/main Packages
         *** 4.1-0 0
                990 http://apt.steve.org.uk etch/main Packages
                100 /var/lib/dpkg/status
             2.8-2 0
                500 http://ftp.us.debian.org etch/main Packages
        ---------------------------/ 8<----------------------------

Not sure what I'm doing wrong. :( Any ideas?

Thanks much in advance,
Alain
