I only ask what can I do.
- Send an email to hppa buildd maintainer
- Send an email to debian-hppa mail list
- Report a bug
- Wait
- Other.
That's all.

Contents files are updated infrequently - once a week or so, I think.
kinkatta was only removed on 28 May.

Hello Debian devel,
kinkatta is not listed as being part of unstable, but kinkatta files are
part of unstable/Contents-i386.gz.
Comments ?

Hi All!
What can I do with this (from packages.qa.debian.org):
# 42 days old (needed 10 days)
# out of date on hppa: libzorpll, libzorpll-dev (from 2.0.5.2-1)
This is with package libzorpll.
