If I'm not mistaken, all cockpit-* packages are built from the same source, right?

According to the latest changelog available here: https://metadata.ftp-master.debian.org/changelogs//main/c/cockpit/cockpit_215-1~bpo10+1_changelog

The latest version for buster-backports should be:

cockpit (215-1~bpo10+1) buster-backports; urgency=medium

* No-change backport to Debian Buster

But looks like not all 215-1~bpo10+1 packages are in http://ftp.debian.org/debian/pool/main/c/cockpit/

Some are still in version 213-1~bpo10+1. The ones in version 213 are binary-mipsel, binary-mips64el and binary-all.

Some are already in version 215-1~bpo10+1 and no longer available in version 213-1~bpo10+1.

There are other 215-1 (without bpo10 in the name) packages available, but I believe these are meant for unstable (as per the changelog).

I'm not sure how the package build and upload process works.

Maybe it's normal that not all packages are build/uploaded/sync in the repo at the same time... but since all them come from the same source, this just look odd.

Meanwhile my workaround was to manually download the .deb files for version 213 and install them with dpkg -i

So now I have a mix of 213 (manually installed) and 215 (installed with apt) until this gets sorted out in the repository and all packages are available in version 215 for buster-backports.

Best regards,
