Then it was a slow creep up over the past year due to an overly restrictive 
max-delete.  End result is the same that we ended up having files around for 
way too long.   I'll make sure that setting is changed to a much larger number. 
 This one shouldn't happen again.    

Is '[email protected]' listed as a contact for the debain mirror?  Lee had to go 
do this silly thing with graduating and getting a real job so officially he has 
no connection with RIT anymore.  

We don't use the ftpsync script, we use rsync in our own wrapper setup.   I'll 
update the trace file logic shortly.

Unlikely we did a mass delete -- all our mirroring scripts have some 
--max-delete option set.  And your mirror has files that it should have removed 
over a year ago.

Anyway, while you are looking at your mirror, could you please also move to 
using (a recent version of) our ftpsync?


  Using a modern ftpsync ensures updates are done in the correct order
  so apt clients don't get confused.   In particular, it processes
  translations, contents, and more files that have been added to the
  archive in recent years in the correct stage.  It also should produce
  trace files that contain more information that is useful for us.
