The version number change happened on February 4, but we decided that it was a bad idea, and it was reverted on March 28. So, the version was 400 for all releases, and it's still 400. It's possible that some planet packages were created with a pre-release version in between 2/4 and 3/28, in which case those need to be fixed. I don't think that's the case for "gzip.plt", though. It sounds instead like you're using a pre-release version of Racket from between 2/4 and 3/28. Is that right? If so, the solution would be to upgrade. _________________________________________________ For list-related administrative tasks: http://lists.racket-lang.org/listinfo/dev
