Hi,

unfortunately our Debian repository has been unmaintained for a while,  
and it would probably be wise to shut it down until someone steps up  
to pick up the pieces. I'm not sufficiently familiar with the Debian  
tools to be sure, but I suspect that apt-get tries to find packages  
for the current Debian version where the repository only has packages  
for 4.0 (or 3.1? not sure how to find out).

In any case the packages are outdated and I don't recommend to use  
them. I've installed RefDB on several versions of Debian in the past  
without problems. I'd suggest to use either the latest source tarball  
or the SVN version and build RefDB from the sources. Let me know if  
you're not familiar with building and installing from the sources. I  
have a Debian box at home with RefDB installed, so I could send you a  
working configure command line.

regards,
Markus
