[UDD] Packages flagged 'error' in DEHS import

[Andreas Tille <andreas@an3as.eu>]

Hi,

I was wondering, why DEHS claims ncbi-tools6 as not 'uptodate' but rather 'error'.
The DEHS page[1] says for experimental

# Watch: view (comments below)

 Too bad uscan doesn't actually honor downloadurlmangle for FTP urls. :-/
 [would use downloadurlmangle="s|$|/ncbi.tar.gz|]

# Uscan errors:
uscan.pl warning: In /tmp/ncbi-tools6_watchiu1iwq no matching files for watch line
ftp://ftp.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/toolbox/ncbi_tools/old/(\d{8}[a-z]*)


and if I try

$ uscan --verbose
-- Scanning for watchfiles in .
-- Found watchfile in ./debian
-- In debian/watch, processing watchfile line:
   opts="uversionmangle=s|^|6.1.|"   ftp://ftp.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/toolbox/ncbi_tools/old/(\d{8}[a-z]*)
Useless content call in void context at /usr/share/perl5/LWP/Protocol/ftp.pm line 379
uscan warning: In watchfile debian/watch, reading FTP directory
  ftp://ftp.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/toolbox/ncbi_tools/old/ failed: 400 FTP return code 000
-- Scan finished


I'm actually running into an error.  What I really do not understand is,
that the package in unstable has the very same watch file and does not
seem to produce an error because it correctly detects outdated and is
linking to the new version.

Any reasonable explanation for this?

Kind regards

     Andreas.
