Package: plucker-desktop
Version: 1.8-16+b1
Severity: grave
Justification: renders package unusable

since the last update of plucker (1.8-16+b1, a binary NMU by "the buildd"
to rebuild plucker against python2.4), it won't update my channel any
more. Without any error messages, it merely reports success, albeit
without the usual progress messages (retrieving http://.... etc). After 
finishing, there is no file in the output location, or if a file is
still cached in ~/.plucker, it will be copied without being updated.

since updating channels is the whole point of plucker-desktop, I believe
the severity is justified

my un-educated guess: the NMU'er forgot to take into account the effects
