Severity: important
There is no package 'console-data' in the woody distribution. This means

It seems like an easy way to prevent the following would be to update the

rsync --exclude "Packages*" debian/pool

I have a production machine which was 95% potato. I had to update the
libc6 libraries to install a couple of woody packages which were needed
by
others.
I found today that latex2html was broken.
The error I am trying to track down is:
