Troubleshooting

Q: Why does aptitue (apt-get) want to upgrade several of my installed packages to versions from your repository, even without the "-t cite-backports" switch?

A: My bad, I had an error in my "Release" file. Please delete your binary package cache and rebuild it:

rm /var/cache/apt/pkgcache.bin
apt-get update

Q: Why does apt-get source get source from your repository? Why does apt-get -t cite-backports source spit out an error?

A: I don't have any idea, honestly. Sorry.

Q: Why don't your provide sources?

A: Because I had never bothered with sources in the past, i.e. a lot of sources are missing (I changed the system on which I built the packages several times) - I didn't start this repository with the intention of making it publicly accessible. I do add sources for every new package, starting from November 1st, 2007.

Q: But it's GPL and other Open Source software, you have to provide sources!

A: Well, sue me, then. This will only lead to the removal of this repository.
