Package: setiathome

On etch I'm getting <quote>

</quote> on every attempted update within aptitude, so I've purged the
setiathome package: this defect makes the package unusable.  From the
command-line I find <quote>

The package info tells me that I can download from
http://setiathome.ssl.berkeley.edu/unix.html
but this 404s.

Going to http://setiathome.ssl.berkeley.edu/ I find they have a system
called boinc which provides a self-extracting archive.  With any luck
this shall make the package unnecessary, though an updated version
might integrate [EMAIL PROTECTED] better into Debian.
