<p style="-qt-paragraph-type:empty; margin-top:0px; margin-bottom:0px; margin-left:0px; margin-right:0px; -qt-block-indent:0; text-indent:0px; -qt-user-state:0;"><br></p>You may want to add lines like the following in your sources.list file:<br>
<p style="-qt-paragraph-type:empty; margin-top:0px; margin-bottom:0px; margin-left:0px; margin-right:0px; -qt-block-indent:0; text-indent:0px; -qt-user-state:0;"><br></p><span style=" font-weight:600;">deb http://ftp.de.debian.org/debian/ lenny main contrib non-free</span><br>
<span style=" font-weight:600;">deb http://ftp.de.debian.org/debian/ lenny-proposed-updates main contrib non-free</span><br>
<span style=" font-weight:600;">deb http://security.debian.org/ lenny/updates main</span><br>
<p style="-qt-paragraph-type:empty; margin-top:0px; margin-bottom:0px; margin-left:0px; margin-right:0px; -qt-block-indent:0; text-indent:0px; -qt-user-state:0; font-weight:600;"><br></p>i noticed that you mentioned you are using lenny, but have "sid" repositories setup on your machine..so that may be your problem. <br>
<p style="-qt-paragraph-type:empty; margin-top:0px; margin-bottom:0px; margin-left:0px; margin-right:0px; -qt-block-indent:0; text-indent:0px; -qt-user-state:0;"><br></p>you need to specify your repositories to use the same version of the OS you are using, and remember to run "<span style=" font-weight:600;">apt-get update</span>" after editing the sources.list file, otherwise aptitude and apt-get will not "see" any new packages from the repository.<br>
<p style="-qt-paragraph-type:empty; margin-top:0px; margin-bottom:0px; margin-left:0px; margin-right:0px; -qt-block-indent:0; text-indent:0px; -qt-user-state:0;"><br></p>once you are done, you should be able to install the pdns packages using apt-get install commands.<br>
<p style="-qt-paragraph-type:empty; margin-top:0px; margin-bottom:0px; margin-left:0px; margin-right:0px; -qt-block-indent:0; text-indent:0px; -qt-user-state:0;"><br></p>if you are still having issues installing from apt-get, you can install pdns-server from the sources available on the powerdns website. to install backends when compiling powerdns-server, use the following line as part of your configure, make, make install procedure.<br>
<p style="-qt-paragraph-type:empty; margin-top:0px; margin-bottom:0px; margin-left:0px; margin-right:0px; -qt-block-indent:0; text-indent:0px; -qt-user-state:0;"><br></p><span style=" font-weight:600;">./configure --with-modules="backendname"</span><br>
<p style="-qt-paragraph-type:empty; margin-top:0px; margin-bottom:0px; margin-left:0px; margin-right:0px; -qt-block-indent:0; text-indent:0px; -qt-user-state:0;"><br></p>generally you would unpack sources to the /usr/local/src dir, then compile from there. depending on what ext your files use, you can use the tar command to extract .tar or .tar.gz. more info can be found for this command in the man pages...to get to these just type:<br>
<p style="-qt-paragraph-type:empty; margin-top:0px; margin-bottom:0px; margin-left:0px; margin-right:0px; -qt-block-indent:0; text-indent:0px; -qt-user-state:0;"><br></p><span style=" font-weight:600;">man tar</span><br>
