2010-03-08 Thread keenerd
A lot of people have been getting bit by mirrors being out of sync. Fundamentally, this comes down to a mirror's database tarball being ahead or behind of the packages which actually exist on the mirror. Rsync is made for bulk updating, but it is not atomic, and bad things happen if you interact
