Because 7 out of 9 binary packages of that source are still in testing: http://lintian.wolffelaar.nl/histmadison/?source=aiksaurus&package=&date=2004-06-07 Note that the testing output says removal fails due to buggyness of the package: http://packages.qa.debian.org/a/aiksaurus.html # Trying to remove package, not update it # libaiksaurus-data (alpha, arm, hppa, i386, ia64, m68k, mips, mipsel, powerpc, s390, sparc) is buggy!

'today' means 'just before next mirror pulse', i.e., it will be gone after tonight. Testing scripts run just after a mirror pulse, and have effect only upon next one, so there generally is a delay of about 20 hours iirc. --Jeroen -- Jeroen van Wolffelaar [EMAIL PROTECTED] (also for Jabber & MSN; ICQ: 33944357) http://Jeroen.A-Eskwadraat.nl
