Binary package hint: apt
Trying to find an appropriate place to report this issue.... I think that it is an issue for the Archive Administration Team. The old-releases archive package data is inconsistent with the files on the server.

I'm getting a file not found error when trying to install libtcltk-ruby1.8 via apt-get update; apt-get upgrade. Both intrepid-updates' and intrepid-security's universe packages claim to require pool/universe/r/ruby1.9/libtcltk-ruby1.9_1.9.0.2-7ubuntu1.3_i386.deb but the file doesn't exist on old-releases.ubuntu.com.
I'm encountering this issue on a machine running LinuxMCE and other users are reporting similar issues for a number of other packages as well.

I can verify that in old-releases. ubuntu. com/ubuntu/ dists/intrepid- security/ universe/ binary- i386/Packages. bz2 there is:
http://
Package: libtcltk-ruby1.8 r/ruby1. 8/libtcltk- ruby1.8_ 1.8.7.72- 1ubuntu0. 2_i386. deb
Filename: pool/universe/
but http:// old-releases. ubuntu. com/ubuntu/ pool/universe/ r/ruby1. 8/ does not have that file. Oddly enough, ruby1.8_ 1.8.7.72- 1ubuntu0. 2_ia64. deb" and lpia, hppa, sparc. So it appears that only the
there is " libtcltk-
ports are there, not the main architecture.
A issue with the rsync script?
