Andrew Glen-Young and I have discovered that:
- wv was apparently promoted from Universe to Main in May 2008 (bug 215209).
- However, <https://launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/wv> still says that the package is in Universe.
- apt-cache madison says it's in Universe too:
--------------
mpt@zephyr:~$ apt-cache madison libwv-1.2-3
libwv-1.2-3 | 1.2.4-2ubuntu3 | http://gb.archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/ oneiric/universe amd64 Packages
wv | 1.2.4-2ubuntu3 | http://gb.archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/ oneiric/universe Sources
--------------
- Despite that, the package is in the main/ directory on archive.ubuntu.com. <http://archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/pool/main/w/wv/libwv-1.2-3_1.2.4-2ubuntu2_amd64.deb>
- On some of the mirrors, the package is in both the main/ *and* universe/ directories.
- Until a manual sync on 2011-09-01, the gb. mirror had symlinks from where the package would have been in universe/ to where it would have been in main/, and these symlinks were broken. |
