Now, what architecture have you?

Really, I cannot answer your question without knowing what architecture
you have, like all other problem reports. Yes, if this were a
new problem you should have filed a bug against ftp.debian.org,
but this problem is so old it's been solved already, so don't bother
fileing the bug, nor bother with the architecture field, as it's
utterly arch independant: the "bug" is that Guy was on holiday
(don't know what architecture-holiday that was). But if you take
a recent mirror of unstable, you'll be OK.

Just another reason why I don't think architecture fields in bugreports
arn't all that important. Yes, they are nice to have as a default,
and /usr/bin/bug has them. But had you filed this a a bug (say, 1.5 months
ago, you might have been the first to notice), forcing you to
mention the architecture would be silly.
