Yes, http://debian.linux.org.tw/debian/pool/main/f/file/ shows no Oct 03
additions, whereas
http://debian.linux.org.tw/debian/dists/sid/main/binary-i386/Packages.gz
already lists them.  This must reveal a fundamental flaw in the debian
mirrors system, where some mishap could cause Packages to be updated,
even if not all the packages it lists were successfully updated.

$ lynx -dump http://linux.cdpa.nsysu.edu.tw/debian/pool/main/f/file/|grep Oct-2003
a nearby machine, shows plenty though.

Sure, maybe the next day, the hole will get filled automatically, but
still, that such a condition (Packages file updated before confirming
what it lists are confirmed to be successfully updated) is bad.
