Hi Andrae,

I have made a couple of postings to General today, but they don't seem to be
going through.

I am having a problem with missing woody debian files on the mirrors.  Do
you know why this would be?  Alternatively, could you make a brief posting
to the General list about this?

Sorry to bother you with this.  I'm just halfway through an upgrade and
gettign a bit worried about the whole situation.

Here's what I have been trying to post:

********
Hi,

I have recently tried to do a dist-upgrade to the debian distribution,
woody.  I have updated my /etc/apt/sources.list file to point to unstable,
and proceeded with an update and upgrade.

The following files came up as not being available on mirror aarnet:
libstdc++2.1-dev
gcc_2.95.2-14
tetex-lib_1.0.7+20000807-3
zlib1g_1.1.3-10
base-config_0.37
enlightenment_0.16.4-4
exim

There were some others, but I didn't write them down.  I have checked
ftp.au.debian.org as well, and it really does look like the files are
missing.  I'm not really sure what to do about this now.  Have I done
something wrong?  Or should the files be there?

Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks.
Anthony
