all,

i am new to debian.

is there something other than sources.list that determines where
apt-get/aptitude goes to get/search for packages? a friend of mine is
running the same release that i am (6.06 LTS). his sources.list is identical
to mine but when i do an 'aptitude search dump' (looking for the bsd
dump/restore utilities) i get very different results (his has the package in
there and mine does not).

suggestions?

thanks,
stan
