Hi all,
I installed Debian a few days ago and had no trouble downloading extra
packages using apt-get. Then I re-installed today, and hardly anything
will work (Transmission did install). Any idea what is wrong?

My updated sources.list file:
deb cdrom:[Debian GNU/Linux 5.0.5 _Lenny_ - Official i386 CD Binary-1
20100626-17:37]/ lenny main
deb http://security.debian.org/ lenny/updates main
deb-src http://security.debian.org/ lenny/updates main
deb http://volatile.debian.org/debian-volatile lenny/volatile main
deb-src http://volatile.debian.org/debian-volatile lenny/volatile main
deb http://ftp.au.debian.org/debian/dists/lenny/ main contrib non-free
deb http://ftp.de.debian.org/debian/dists/lenny/ main contrib non-free

I ran apt-get update (as root), then tried installing many things, eg:

debian:/home/brett# apt-get install mozilla-plugin-vlc

These are wrong. Try with a sources.list that only has

deb http://ftp.de.debian.org/debian/ lenny main
deb http://security.debian.org/ lenny/updates main

and nothing else. Then post the output of apt-get update and apt-get
install gstreamer-tools.
