We're in the middle of a transition where we're updating all the
packages in the archive. Your best bet is to read the archives at
http://lists.debian.org/ for the last month or so, and you'll get a
picture of where we are.
If you stay subscribed to this list, you'll be notified of updates as
they happen over the next week or so.
Sorry about the hassle!
Tks,
Jeff Bailey
