Question concerning watch file checks in PTS

[Simon Kainz <simon@familiekainz.at>]

Hi!

Trying to fix some watch files, i got a bit confused:


Looking at http://qa.debian.org/watch/uscan-errors.txt (dated 
2012-01-28, as i can see here: http://qa.debian.org/watch/ ), i see e.g 
the following line:


apgdiff 2.4-1 : failed: 500 .*Bad hostname

So i do an

apt-get source to get the package. Then i cd into the newly created dir 
and do the following:

skainz@zidd-104:~/tmp$ cd apgdiff-1.4/
skainz@zidd-104:~/tmp/apgdiff-1.4$ uscan --no-download -verbose

So the watchfile seems to be ok, but still the watch file checks tell 
me 500 bad hostname. So which file does the automated check process 
then? Or should i get the watchfile from somewhere else?


Thanks in advance.
