Thanks! I'll certainly comment out the src lines - as you say, I do not
really need them, and can uncomment them if I ever do..
But the two squeeze updates are not in fact the same thing.
deb http://security.debian.org/ squeeze/updates main
is, as it says, security, so is necessary.
deb http://mirror.ox.ac.uk/debian/ squeeze-updates main
is not security - there is no mention of security. It is the replacement for
volatile.
Still, I could certainly comment both out temporarily.
I am still baffled as to why the same procedure worked a week or two ago and
doesn't work now!!!
Anyway, now to try your suggestions. Thanks for them.
