I can't see how this was a mistake, debian-libio and debian-staging were never supposed to be used by "normal" users, anyone using them knew that this was a temporary solution until the switch was finished. And as the switch now is finished everything went back to its old location. -- Alfred M. Szmidt -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe". Trouble?
