+ 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.
