Huh!  I was just going to post about my own problem, which is
slightly different, but I wonder if the cause is not what I thought?

My Pi is an old one that's using Wheezy.  As it does the job perfectly
for me, I have no reason to update.  Except...

I happened to want to use tcpdump, but find it isn't there.
So I went to apt-get it, but that failed, suggesting an 'apt-get update'.
Did that, and *everything* was 404!  Do they really not keep archives
for more that four years, or is something else going on?

I thought, Oh well, I'll just compile the thing from source...
But tcpdump requires libpcap, which requires flex, which requires
libtoolize...  At that point I gave up, as I can't install anything.

Are my expectations too high? (:-/)
