This contains hard links to the debian-staging files for upload (because they haveto be grouped with their changes file). You should not update at all anymore. I just removed 22 packages which had screwed up group ids on some files: base-files_3.0.2_hurd-i386.deb debianutils_1.16_hurd-i386.deb dog_1.7-3.1_hurd-i386.deb dpkg_1.9.20_hurd-i386.deb ffingerd_1.28-4.1_hurd-i386.deb freecdb_0.62_hurd-i386.deb ftplib-dev_3.1-1-4_hurd-i386.deb ftplib3_3.1-1-4_hurd-i386.deb mpack_1.5-7_hurd-i386.deb netenv_0.82-12_hurd-i386.deb netris_0.5-4_hurd-i386.deb passwd_20000902-12_hurd-i386.deb scalemail_0.0.2001.08.19_hurd-i386.deb tetradraw_2.0.2-4_hurd-i386.deb xxkb_1.6-4_hurd-i386.deb autopilot fidogate hextype kimwitu++ larswm linleech libpng2 Please remove them from your copy, too. Obviously we will have to replace at least some of them (dpkg etc), but we will not add them to debian-staging but upload the recompiled ones to the Debian archive immediately. To repeat it again, debian-staging is frozen for the upcoming upload. The one file you might be interesting in is gnu-libio-20020422 which contains a new tar file (this one contains fixed dpkg etc), and cross-install/native-install, which you might want to sync with your tar file scripts.
