I have emailed the developer of the Advanced Bash Scripting Guide,
Mendel Cooper.  He agreed to return to having a direct href to the
abs-guide on his site.  However, the current version of the package does
not have a debian/watch file that will correctly download this file:

[EMAIL PROTECTED]:~/Documents/Work/abs-guide/abs-guide-4.1$ uscan
--verbose
-- Scanning for watchfiles in .
-- Found watchfile in ./debian
-- In debian/watch, processing watchfile line:
   http://personal.riverusers.com/~thegrendel
   .*abs-guide-(.*)\.tar\..* debian uupdate
-- Found the following matching hrefs:
   abs-guide-5.4.tar.bz2
   abs-guide-5.4.tar.bz2
Newest version on remote site is 5.4, local version is 4.1
 => Newer version available from
    http://personal.riverusers.com/abs-guide-5.4.tar.bz2
-- Downloading updated package abs-guide-5.4.tar.bz2
uscan warning: In directory ., downloading
  http://personal.riverusers.com/abs-guide-5.4.tar.bz2 failed: 404 Not Found
-- Scan finished

I have attached a patch that will fix this problem, along with stopping
two other lintian errors. Have a nice day.
