If you use that line, your 'owner 211921 eternityos@free.fr' will
fail, unless you use 'package wnpp' before 'owner 211921
eternityos@free.fr'.

It may failed because it refused to change it to an empty ITA. It
should have been:

retitle 211921 ITA: hwtools -- Collection of tools for low-level hardware

The above line should be sent as a sigle line.

>>>owner 211921 eternityos@free.fr
