I checked that and, yes, you are right. Anyway, your hint helped me to find the real reason, a misconfigured versions list of the grok release.

This sounds like a pretty complete and automatically up-to-date 'list', compared to the `distribution` list. Wouldn't it be useful then to set the index to ppix and drop the find-links entry?
