This and then a look in the corresponding directory at ftp.debian.org revealed
this package. I have relied too much on my mirror of secondary debian sites.
My mirror properly mirors debian.crosslink.net, but this debian.crosslink.net
site excludes both libreadline2-altdev_2.1-7.deb and
libreadline2_2.1-7.deb in the directory
...debian/hamm/hamm/binary-i386/oldlibs
I have had quite a time with secondary Debian mirror sites. A year ago, the
tsx-11.mit.edu mirrored ftp.debian.org inconsistently until after about 5
months they ceased mirroring debian. This last summer, what I found the
fastest and would have thought the most stable site, uiarchive.cso.uiuc.edu,
started holding old packages for a couple months, after which they ceased
mirroring debian.
While I would like to mirror Debian off secondary sites, after three major
site's chaotic mirroring and eventual cessation of mirroring, I seriously
consider mirroring off the primary site, ftp.debian.org.
