[SOLVED] apt-get only finds installed packages?

[calebt3]

At some point of fiddling with my /etc/apt/sources.list file and apt-get updating in order to add the backports repository, all packeges not currently installed on my system have disapeared from kpackage (I am using the KDE 64-bit variant of Debian Lenny). Aptitude shows 98 packages as 'Not Installed', and 22227 as 'New'

Here's my sources.list:

# deb cdrom:[Debian GNU/Linux testing _Lenny_ - Official Snapshot amd64 kde-CD Binary-1 20080721-14:30]/ lenny main

# deb cdrom:[Debian GNU/Linux testing _Lenny_ - Official Snapshot amd64 kde-CD Binary-1 20080721-14:30]/ lenny main

deb http://security.debian.org/ lenny/updates main
deb-src http://security.debian.org/ lenny/updates main

deb http://ftp.us.debian.org/debian/ lenny main contrib non-free
deb http://www.backports.org/debian etch-backports main contrib

deb Index of /debian etch-backports main contrib

Why are you using etch source?

deb http://www.backports.org/debian lenny-backports main contrib

Why are you using etch source?

Because that's what Debian's wiki says to use. It may be that they haven't updated the page to reflect the name change from 'etch testing' to 'lenny'. But lenny doesn't have a backports repository yet (I tried that first).

My mistake ! There aren't any backport sources for testing because they're not really needed. Testing moves at a fast enough pace that having a backports repository would be extra work and unnecessary.
