Thank you for your ideas. Here is the response from apt-get:
root@ebox:/etc/apt# apt-get install schooltool-common
    Reading package lists... Done
Building dependency tree
Reading state information... Done
Some packages could not be installed. This may mean that you have
requested an impossible situation or if you are using the unstable
distribution that some required packages have not yet been created
or been moved out of Incoming.

Since you only requested a single operation it is extremely likely that
the package is simply not installable and a bug report against
that package should be filed.
The following information may help to resolve the situation:

The following packages have unmet dependencies:
  schooltool-common: Depends: python-pastescript but it is not installable
                     Depends: python-paste but it is not installable
E: Broken packages

This is after adding the updates folder and running apt-get upgrade.

Thank you for your help!
Nick
