    problems adding repositories to my sources.list

    Hi to all, I'm using etch I don't want to use anymore my dvd repos, so I was trying to add online repos but I been had some serious problems, here's my sources.list actually:

    ************begin sources.list****************
    #
    #deb cdrom:[Debian GNU/Linux testing _Etch_ - Official Snapshot i386 Binary-1 ($
    #deb cdrom:[Debian GNU/Linux testing _Etch_ - Official Snapshot i386 Binary-1 ($

    # Line commented out by installer because it failed to verify:
    # deb http://mirrors.kernel.org/debian etch main
    # deb-src http://mirrors.kernel.org/debian etch main
    # deb http://mirrors.kernel.org/debian/ etch contrib
    # deb http://www.debian-multimedia.org/ stable main
    # deb-src http://www.debian-multimedia.org stable main
    #deb http://www.debian-multimedia.org etch main
    #deb-src http://www.debian-multimedia.org sid main

    deb http://ftp2.de.debian.org/debian/ etch main contrib
    deb-src http://ftp2.de.debian.org/debian/ etch main contrib

    ************end sources.list**********************

    WHEN I LOAD SYNAPTYC I GOT THE NEXT ERROR MESSAGE:

    ***************begin error message****************
    W: No se puede leer la lista de paquetes fuente http://ftp2.de.debian.org etch/main Packages (/var/lib/apt/lists/ftp2.de.debian.org_debian_dists_etch_main_binary-i386_Packages) - stat (2 No existe el fichero o el directorio)
    W: No se puede leer la lista de paquetes fuente http://ftp2.de.debian.org etch/contrib Packages (/var/lib/apt/lists/ftp2.de.debian.org_debian_dists_etch_contrib_binar y-i386_Packages) - stat (2 No existe el fichero o el directorio)

    THE MEANING OF "No existe el fichero o el directorio" IS:
    "NO SUCH FILE OR DIRECTORY"

    ****************end error mesage************

    SO, I think the problem is that in my /var/lib/apt/lists there's no "file(s)" related to the new repositories, honestly I'm trying that this work since yesterday but always the same problem, in fact, i tried with other online repos and still doesn't work, i don't know if it's the connection or my var/lib are the problem or someting else, so please help me

    thanks

    Make sure you update first. So do either
    Code:
    apt-get update
    or using synaptic edit---> Reload package information
