You were working on an old file. Smack it. Proper is:
zope updates 2.1.6-7 alpha, arm, i386, m68k, powerpc, sparc
Security upload, DSA 043
-7 is the only proper version, all others were broken or incomplete in
one or the other way.

They're uploaded now, I thought they were not buildable anymore.

Are they still there? They're not in the pool, right?
I'm not sure either. However, the first prerm bug seems nasty
and I believe that Oliver is concious enough for -26, though
arch's are not in sync anymore :(

Ups, wrong directory, fixed. Let's get it in.

You're reading an old version, current is:
watchdog updates 5.1-2 alpha, arm, i386, m68k, powerpc, sparc
This upload fixes a broken version in potato which may result
in the watchdog rebooting the machine during the upgrade.
1. Watchdog daemon is stopped
2. A whole lot of packages are unpacked
3. (sometimes) dpkg stops and prompts you to overwrite
/etc/watchdog.conf
4. Watchdog daemon is restarted
And it is in the accept-list.

Ok, moved to 'further investigation', m68k is still missing.

You're still reading an old version, it's already on the accept-list.

See above, it's on the accept list as well.
