Two things here:
1) Have you been doing regular 'apt-get dist-upgrade' recently? If not, you
may have many packages which need to be installed. Don't worry, the only bad
part is the download time. After that, your entire system will be upgraded to
Debian 2.2 (just out within the past two weeks or so).

2) There's a mild trick to getting the non-US directories to work right, and
it took me some doing to figure it out.  Here's my sources.list for you to
enjoy. If you use it as is, you can also 'apt-get install task-helix-gnome',
and get the newest gnome desktop from Helix Code. If you don't want that,
simply delete the lines which refer to helixcode.

If you have other questions, please do ask. I'm a big fan of Debian :)
