The cron job that builds the weekly images normally goes in the order: i386 source amd64 multi powerpc alpha armel hppa ia64 mips mipsel s390 sparc for reference. What happened here (and has happened a couple of times in the past) is that a source package moved from one part of the archive to another (in this case the weirdx package went from contrib to main) and dak doesn't/didn't handle this case very well. The debian-cd scripts found that the weirdx .orig.tar.gz file was missing and bailed out. I don't always have the time to check up on the build failures, which is why this happened for 3 weeks running. Once you pointed it out (thanks!), I spoke to the ftpteam and got them to fix the archive. All should be fine now AFAICS. -- Steve McIntyre, Cambridge, UK. steve@einval.com "I suspect most samba developers are already technically insane...
