If for some reason you do want to find things directly, you should be aware that pkgs live in a pool now, and you wont find much under a sid/main/binary-hppa dir on your local mirror. For example, libc6-dev would be found under /pub/mirrors/debian/pool/main/g/glibc. That one is under 'g' because the source pkg is glibc. But as Andrew said, apt is right way to install things normally. Richard
