is sources.list really in /apt? if so, then i call for a ban on libranet.
post your /apt/sources.list (or what is hopefully /etc/apt/sources.list).
here's mine (note, you would change all instances of "woody" with "potato".
deb ftp://ftp.ca.debian.org/debian/ woody main non-free contrib
deb http://non-us.debian.org/debian-non-US woody/non-US main contrib non-free
deb ftp://non-us.debian.org/debian-non-US woody/non-US main contrib non-free

i'm not sure that's correct. sources.list is a list of URL's (URI's) that
your operating system looks to in order to get updates and bug fixes.

libranet is based on debian 2.2r0. i wish we had installed regular debian,
in which case you would have debian 2.2r2, and would have avoided the whole
mess of an outdated modutils.
this is a wonderfully circular problem -- need to upgrade to get net access.
need to get net access to upgrade. after thinking about it for awhile,
here's what needs to happen:
someone with debian 2.2r2 cd's needs to go over there and upgrade your
system. you might want to consider ixnaying libranet and just going with
vanilla debian.
maybe a lert call is in order. someone will have to take it for me; i'm
going on 2 lert calls tomorrow: installing redhat dual boot in the morning
and helping configure a 2nd ethernet card in late morning/early afternoon.
that's enough lugod work for me this weekend. :)

there once was a man from tennessee,
who loved to use vim cause it's free.
he wrote email for a bit,
and then wanted to save it,
so he ended up pressing shift-zee-zee.
