Yes, this is a bug. Approx currently assumes that files ending in .tar.gz (and similar) must be source tarballs being retrieved by "apt-get source ...". And since source tarballs are versioned, they're immutable and there's no need to check whether they're up-to-date. I'll have to make it smarter about which tarballs are truly immutable and which aren't (probably by looking for a Debian-style version number in the filename). Thanks for finding this, and sorry for the inconvenience. -- Eric Cooper e c c @ c m u . e d u -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-bugs-dist-requ...@lists.debian.org with a subject of "unsubscribe".
