I'm surprised there isn't some kind of automated format checking tool that makes sure there are no syntax errors in the Packages file before it's allowed to be uploaded from Incoming into the dist area. As I understand it that process is automated for unstable and already-available packages, so shouldn't the automation verify the syntax?
Having a corruption like this can be quite painful, and should be trivial to catch. -- ------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Paul D.
