Steve noticed that several of the packages that claim to be non-US are actually now in main, but are also still in the non-US archive, which is what the fundamental problem is. Erlang is one of these, and once it's sorted out we'll have a bit more room on CD1, so there's no need for CD2_NONUS as it turns out. I'll report these as bugs against non-us, and possibly do something nasty to my mirror to sort it out in the meantime. A quick comparison of the .deb's in both non-US and main, gives this list of suspects: http://www.hands.com/~phil/woody-cd/non-non-US.txt This list may include packages that are in non-US & main for reasons based on differences between package versions, but it should contain all the problem packages, that are really in main, but still lingering in non-US as well.
