Pleas don´t, better to have a Package one can test, than only a Source
that doesn´t compile. Many People have problems compiling source,
especially 030-16 systems.

Hmm, I tried the 0.0.6 (i think) and the 0.0.8 and both didn´t
work. It worked fine until it run dpkg on the binary-i386
Packages. Compiling of apt faild for me on m68k as well as i386, so I
didn´t trace the problem in the Source.

I changed the config file of apt to reflect my own mirror, but I
didn´t see any i386 in there, that I could have changed to m68k. That
shouldn´t be needed anyway and I will report any such hardcoded archs
as bugs.

May the Source be with you.

PS: 0.0.9 compiled on i386 and its scheduled on my m68k for
compilation (should be ready when I go home).
