REPORT shows as of now, stamped 03-Jan-2001 14:58, the following: 1. dpkg_1.8.0_i386.changes BYHAND dpkg-1.8.0.tar.gz byhand dpkg_1.8.0_i386.deb to pool/main/d/dpkg/dpkg_1.8.0_i386.deb
The above says to me I should be able to find that file at that location. However, a search of ftp.debian.org, http.us.debian.org, ftp.twtelecom.net (closer mirror) at that location shows: 257 "/pub/mirrors/debian/pool/main/d/dpkg" is current directory. ftp> ls -rw-r--r-- 1 ftp ftp 851612 Dec 11 00:00 dpkg_1.7.2_sparc.deb Would this be due to BYHAND, or possibly something with the package pools? the dpkg_1.8.0...deb files still appear in incoming regardless of the REPORT file. If it's a problem I hope I have alerted the correct people, if not sorry for your time. 2. gcc-2.97_2.97-001230_i386.changes NEW to experimental I know, I know it's experimental and the above is unstable neither are expected/suppose/guarnteed to work. However, I think this might actually be worth noting. The above related debs still appear in incoming as well and the appropriate directory and the same mirrors as above shows: 257 "/pub/mirrors/debian/project/experimental" is current directory. ftp> ls Packages* -rw-r--r-- 1 ftp ftp 127551 Dec 7 20:01 Packages -rw-r--r-- 1 ftp ftp 27252 Dec 7 20:01 Packages.gz ftp> ls gcc* -rw-r--r-- 1 ftp ftp 30660 Dec 5 19:54 gcc-base-ss_2.97-0.001202_all.deb -rw-r--r-- 1 ftp ftp 463352 Dec 5 19:54 gcc-doc-ss_2.97-0.001202_all.deb -rw-r--r-- 1 ftp ftp 407502 Dec 5 19:54 gcc-snapshot_20001202-0.001202.diff.gz -rw-r--r-- 1 ftp ftp 1278 Dec 5 19:54 gcc-snapshot_20001202-0.001202.dsc -rw-r--r-- 1 ftp ftp 12499345 Dec 5 19:54 gcc-snapshot_20001202.orig.tar.gz -rw-r--r-- 1 ftp ftp 1611204 Dec 6 19:53 gcc-ss_2.97-0.001202_alpha.deb -rw-r--r-- 1 ftp ftp 1416836 Dec 5 19:54 gcc-ss_2.97-0.001202_i386.deb -rw-r--r-- 1 ftp ftp 1297818 Oct 25 18:52 gcc-ss_2.97-0.1_sparc.deb So, the REPORT says it is NEW to experimental and indicates it has been installed but it is not located there nor have the Packages files been regenerated since Dec 7. Again, it looked like someone might not be aware of this. If it's a non-issue, I apologize for taking your time. Thanks Gordon Sadler
