I'm following Etch and apt is reporting no new packages for a touch over a

Make sure your /etc/apt/sources.list is pointed at an official Debian
mirror and if you can get a specific example from your friend of
something that updated on his machine but not yours, hunt down which
mirror he got it from and see if your mirror is getting updates properly.
I found that while testing apt-cacher I had the same problem, If I
didn't use the cacher, I got 50 updates. But... while trying to find
'working' mirrors, from the current mirror list, I found many that
were just not there. Some of the mirrors took three tries to get a
working package list. See previous post on that problem.
Here are todays results of a netselect run on the first 7 in the
latest mirror list of US sites.
netselect -vv ftp.us.debian.org http.us.debian.org ftp.debian.org

It seems a waste but it looks like having more then one mirror in the
sources.list might be necessary.
