P.S., when my update-all finished, it wrote a line for old and new .debs,
noticing they’d changed due to the copy, like
Changed package: dists/stable/main/binary-darwin-x86_64/web/django-py27_1.8.2-1_
darwin-x86_64.deb
Changed package: dists/stable/main/binary-darwin-x86_64/web/django-py27_1.8.3-1_
darwin-x86_64.deb
New package: dists/stable/main/binary-darwin-x86_64/web/django-py27_1.8.4-1_darw
in-x86_64.deb
Changed package: dists/stable/main/binary-darwin-x86_64/web/django-south-py27_0.
8.1-1_darwin-x86_64.deb
(very small excerpt from thousands of lines)
Dunno if something like a “fink index” would have avoided this, but thought I’d
note it in case anyone else gets the same.
