Are you sure this makes the _entire_ package unusable? Not being able to delete
a local repository doesn't sound RC to me, if the rest of the package works.

Seemingly it _appears_ to succeed, but doesn't:

klump:~> aptly repo create test
Config file not found, creating default config at /home/sesse/.aptly.conf
klump:~> aptly repo drop test  
Local repo `test` has been removed.
klump:~> aptly repo list
List of local repos:
 * [test] (packages: 0)

To get more information about local repository, run `aptly repo show <name>`.

I tried building without the patch (using go-uuid from Github instead),
and it doesn't change anything.

I tried the version from the upstream repository (deb http://repo.aptly.info/
squeeze main), and indeed, it works. Note that I have to clear out the entire
~/.aptly directory first and create a new repo; even the upstream version is
unable to drop test once it's in this broken state.
