Why I get this message? "Sorry, but the requested page
http://rhonda.deb.at/htdocs/debian/pidgin/ could not be found on rhonda.deb.at."
I made my try, using the same modifications that were used to backport 2.3.1.
When I tried to upgrade the packages, I got the error:
main:/usr/src/debian-mr/pidgin-2.4.3-testing# dpkg -i

I don't know if I made some mistake.
My libltdl3-dev is from bpo and I can't downgrade it. Is it a problem?
In .changes files, my name is stated as Changed-By. Is this OK? They wrote in
the Mentors FAQ <http://people.debian.org/~mpalmer/debian-mentors_FAQ.html>
"Make sure your name isn't in the Maintainer: or Changed-By: headers of the
.changes file."
