Hi, I was trying to move a package (iausofa-c) from main to non-free with a new version. In the developers reference [1], the according paragraph is 5.9.1:
> If you need to change the section for one of your packages, change > the package control information to place the package in the desired > section, and re-upload the package So, I changed the section to non-free, and uploaded the new version 2013.12.02-1 (resp. I asked my sponsor to do so). However, this was followed by some unexpected things: 1. I got a traceback with a rejection [2] 2. Someone then removed the old binary packages [3] 3. Then the package got accepted [4] 3. After a few days, I got a "serious" bug that the source is still in main [5] No I am unsure what to do. I followed the reference, but it was somehow not recognized. The real procedure to move a package seems to be different from the documentation. Is this a bug in the manual? And, if yes, what is the correct way? If not, should I file a bug against ftp-masters saying that the implementation to move a package is wrong? Or did I something fundamentally misunderstand here? Do I refer to the right section of the reference manual and do I interpret it correctly?
