Bug#307594: apt-get tomcat4 package is not available

Wed May 4 13:40:04 2005

I have done this on several occasions.   I tried the
"apt-get update" again this morning at your request. 
The tomcat4 package still fails with the same error.  
"libtomcat4-java","tomcat4-admin", "tomcat4-webapps"
also fail with the error "E: couldn't find package
<package>". Installing any other packages does not
cause this error.  Is there a way for me to provide
more information on this?  The following is a list of
servers "apt-get update" lists
Hit http://ftp.us.debian.org testing/main Packages
Hit http://ftp.us.debian.org testing/main Release
Hit http://ftp.us.debian.org testing/main Sources
Hit http://ftp.us.debian.org testing/main Release
Hit http://debian.oregonstate.edu testing/main

Reading Package Lists... Done

I have tried other servers with the same results.

Thanks for your earlier response.
