Hi Ricardo - OK, you should run: # apt-get update

Sounds like you have an empty package cache on your system - it's fairly common 
practice to delete the package cache immediately after installation on small 
systems where disk space is limited.

It might be more efficient to choose a Debian mirror closer to your location - 
see http://www.debian.org/mirror/list for more information.

Any particular reason why you chose Etch which is no longer suoported and now 
two versions behind current Debian Stable (v6.0 aka Squeeze)?

cheers
Matt
