I could be wrong, Hendrik, but ISTR there is something wrong with that
versions internal checksumming, so there is a possibility they could
be, as you said, vapour.
It didn't last long on the gnu site, a month maybe before it was
replaced by 1.15-1. As to why its *still* in debian, where there is a
supposed pride in stability and workability, I have NDI. I've been
using 1.15-1 with amandas latest snapshots as they come out for about a
year now, my locally built copy is dated Jan 16-2005.
It should have been removed from debian, and either 1.13-25, or 1.15-1
inserted in its place.
But I'm not running the show, I'm just an old fart that like things to
Just Work(TM).
