Gabor -- you appear to have permissions on the legacy modules that are showing up as 0.02.
Syntax::Highlight::Engine::Kate::BaseTest,HANJE,f Syntax::Highlight::Engine::Kate::BaseTest,SZABGAB,c Syntax::Highlight::Engine::Kate::BaseTestchild,HANJE,f Syntax::Highlight::Engine::Kate::BaseTestchild,SZABGAB,c If you add stub .pm files (with a higher version number) and release, the old index entries will be overwritten. Alternatively, email ANDK and just ask him to delete those from the index. (I don't think there's a way to do it from PAUSE -- it takes direct DB access.) You have co-maint so I don't see why he would object. I.e. That would remove from them from *index* but not *delete* the original tarball. I agree with brian that someone else's files should be left alone.
