I am sorry, nevertheless on my Bubba2, the apt-get install fails, and the recommended update as well.
Am I doing something wrong?
best regards

Solved.
The problem was the moved debian depository as already announced in other forum:
"Upgrade problems due to debian Etch repos moved"
After changing one line in /etc/apt/sources.list file, all is fine.
Sorry, recent 10 years I have not worked any more with unixes...and I have lost my unix instincts fully...
best regards
