    Have you refreshed all of the sources in the installation source list?

    If you haven't set each source to automatically refresh every time you open up the package manager, refreshing the sources to get an updated list of everything that's on the server is a good idea (especially with Guru and Packman).

    Guru and Packman update packages so quickly, I've had instances where I'm in the middle of updating many packages, and suddenly none of the packages can be found. After aborting, and refreshing the sources, my packages were then found again...
