Hi there,

You may want to add lines like the following in your sources.list file:

deb http://ftp.de.debian.org/debian/ lenny main contrib non-free
deb http://ftp.de.debian.org/debian/ lenny-proposed-updates main contrib  non-
free
deb http://security.debian.org/ lenny/updates main

i noticed that you mentioned you are using lenny, but have "sid" repositories 
setup on your machine..so that may be your problem. 

you need to specify your repositories to use the same version of the OS you 
are using, and remember to run "apt-get update" after editing the sources.list 
file, otherwise aptitude and apt-get will not "see" any new packages from the 
repository.

once you are done, you should be able to install the pdns packages using apt-
get install commands.

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.

./configure --with-modules="backendname"

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:

man tar

all the best
