last question for a bit apt broke

[Tyler Littlefield]

Hay,
I have a quick question,
I just tried apt, and when I try to get any program, it tells me it can't find it, when I do apt-config it tells me well... it displays the help message. I thought it was supposed to display the menu from which you can select sources to add.
Any ideas?
Thanks,

The only thing I can tell you is to make sure that your
/etc/apt/sources.list is in order. If you don't know if what you see
is in order or not, or if you know that it isn't in order, but don't
know how to fix it, have a look at the sources.list(5) man page. If
the mirrors you're using now aren't working for you for whatever
reason, have a look at the mirrors list section of the debian site.

Isn't aptitude the one which displays the menus?
