These were just bugs caused by people not uploading all their RPMs to the ~/public_rpms/ directories. In some cases, source RPMs and debuginfo RPMs may be missing too. These problems will be fixed once we complete the migration of all our packages into the Fedora package repository and build them with Koji.

Only a kid in one thousand will want to become a hacker. And those who do, are better off learning how to download and install a few packages before they get into harder programming business :-) -- \___/ |___| Bernardo Innocenti - http://www.codewiz.org/ \___\ One Laptop Per Child - http://www.laptop.org/ _______________________________________________ Devel mailing list Devel@lists.laptop.org http://lists.laptop.org/listinfo/devel
