Are you upgrading via ftp? If so, be warned that some mirrors might be
a bit mucked up; master had a disk crash this week. Everything should
be back to normal soon.
In the interim, try ftping from another mirror. We have a mirror here
at MidcoNet; try "{ftp,http}://brahe.midco.net/debian-ftp". The
dpkg-http method is far superior, imho.
I upgraded from this mirror yesterday, and all packages were present at
that time.
:I even checked for the packages using the search engine at
:www.debian.org, and Netscape says "File not found".
I'd say this is the same problem, cgi scripts run from "cgi.debian.org",
which I believe is actually master. If master was down, cgi scripts
would have been non-operational. I believe this was also solved very
recently.
I did/continue to run into a few weird things while upgrading to
unstable; I'll summarise those to the list in a bit. Feel free to email
if you have further questions ...
HTH,
