Sure, that's not the problem. The problem appears when the appropriate
binaries don't appear in the archive.
For instance when xmonad 0.7-1 and xmonad-contrib 0.7-1 are initially in
the archive, xmonad-contrib 0.7-2 gets uploaded, but has some issue so
xmonad-contrib 0.7-3 is uploaded and xmonad 0.7-3 gets uploaded.
In this case the dep-wait will still be xmonad == 0.7-2 which never got
uploaded.

Strange, I would think you just put the archive you used in
sources.list, no?
