Not on ftp.nl.debian.org or > ftp.debian.org itself. I think you may have misunderstood the purpose of my post. The purpose of my post was not to suggest a method of coaxing hidden updates out of a mirror which did not seem to offer any. The poster identified by "S.D.A" was complaining of an excessive number of pending updates and was wondering if something was wrong. The purpose of my post was to suggest a method for canceling all pending updates (which may have been left over from some previous unintended actions) and then to search anew for legitimate ones. -- .''`.

Debian-announce may be a fine additional list, but why shall I subscribe it if I already have the basic user list?
