That would be the database issues probably. I just tried it now and it
worked but you should check for yourself.

Ok, judging from the bug report I'm guessing you're talking about
gnash. And coincidently it looks like the new description got picked
up today.
http://ddtp.debian.net/ddt.cgi?desc_id=77094
http://ddtp.debian.net/ddt.cgi?desc_id=75813
Why it took so long: my guess is it got stuck behind the 500+ CGI
scripts that were clogging up the machine the last week.
Please be careful to distinguish between DDTP and DDTSS, they're
wholly separate systems. The DDTP uses a true PostgreSQL database and
is built so that it doesn't matter if it misses a few updates. It's
practically indestructable.
The DDTSS is however a lot flakier, being built on BDBv1. This is the
bit I believe most people have the issues with.
It would be nice to got through the code and fix it, unfortunately I
don't have the time I had when I wrote it.
Have a nice day,
