It's quite easy: stable in Debian means etch since some months ago, not
Sarge. So http://apt.linex.org/linex/gambas/stable/ is to be used in Debian
stable= Debian etch.
>From http://gambas.sourceforge.net/download.html:
" Last version of gambas packages for Debian stable (or etch) are always
available using apt-get, adding this line to the /etc/apt/sources.list file"

It's already imposible compile gambas2 in Sarge. If you want to try, there
are packages with Sarge libc6 at
http://apt.linex.org/linex2006/dists/cl/gambas/ because Linex 2006 still has
Sarge as its base, but you'll need backports for many libraries (plopper,
gtk, qt, kde, etc.) to install them in Sarge. Those backports are also
available at the same repository.
Those packages are built for LinEx, and can not assure they'll work on other
Debian derivated distributions. So, for general gambas & Debian users I
can't continue providing gambas packages for Sarge and that's why the text
at http://gambas.sourceforge.net/download.html was changed some months ago.
