That's missing, not misconfigured. But I'll fix that.

rhona. Yes, again, this is because you chose to edit katie.conf
rather than start from scratch or a less specialised conf file (like
security) and you left Accepted Autobuilding. Like the other things
it defaults to off unless explicity configured in the config file.

6th hit in google for "debian wanna-build" is a direct link; some of
the earlier ones probably would have led you there too.

no. man apt-ftparchive, search for "database", first hit.

Because damn it, it's annoying. You're insulting about katie when you
clearly haven't looked at nearly enough to make an informed judgement
of it. You whine about lack of documentation when you clearly haven't
looked at what there is. You don't bother to check anything or try to
figure anything out for yourself even when you easily could. And then
you post as if you know what you're talking about - or at least have
tried the best you could to know what you talking about - which lends
undeserved credence to your bogus statements about katie.

I'm interested in constructive feedback.
