I don't blame you for being alarmed, but in this case it's nothing to worry about. I caused it, with my Repository Manager hat on. A month or so ago, a committer who will remain unnamed did an unauthorized repository copy of these files. That's a non-trivial operation, and he did it wrong. (That's why committers are not allowed to do repository copies themselves.) It caused these files to suddenly appear as if they existed in -stable as well as many past releases. With all the ELF-related work going on, I didn't get around to repairing it until last weekend. The repairs caused the worrisome log messages. John -- John Polstra jdp@polstra.com John D.
