Can't install nmap

On ubuntu and other distros based off debian, you can normally do a standard "sudo apt-get install nmap" and it installs without complaining.

On my new bubba server, it says the package does not exist... Do I need to add some sources or something? Here is my current /etc/apt/sources.list:

Code: Select all

# BUBBA|TWO apt sources.list
#
# Changes in this file might break your system
# 
# vim: ft=debsources


# The stable BUBBA|TWO repository, is in the suite "stable".
deb http://update.excito.org/ marielle main

Hi there,
I managed to solve this myself and I thought I'd share how I did it.

I found that the etch repositories have changed and you now need to add the archive to your sources.list, see instructions here:
