    # apt-get install opera
    Reading package lists… Done
    Building dependency tree… Done
    Package opera is not available, but is referred to by another package.
    This may mean that the package is missing, has been obsoleted, or
    is only available from another source
    W: Couldn’t stat source package list http://deb.opera.com etch/non-free Packages (/var/lib/apt/lists/deb.opera.com_opera_dists_etch_non-free_binary-i386_Package s) - stat (2 No such file or directory)
    W: Couldn’t stat source package list http://deb.opera.com etch/non-free Packages (/var/lib/apt/lists/deb.opera.com_opera_dists_etch_non-free_binary-i386_Package s) - stat (2 No such file or directory)
