It seems that all the archives of the subject are in error. There are a huge number of .deb files (packages) symlinked to themselves. It just occured to me what could have caused this. Perhaps during the transition from 0.93R6-stable to 1.1-stable, there were a large number of packages that were not unstable. As such, the archive maintainer, in order to minimize disk storage?, decided to symlink to the previously unstable area from the prerelease area. When the prelease area became stable,.... well I think you know what I mean.
Anyway, shouldn't these symlinks to nowhere (themselves) now be symlinked to the stable area to fix the huge number of error messages our mirror programs generate? -- /------------------------------------------------------------------\ | James D.
