The debian-private mailing list leak, part 1. Volunteers have complained about Blackmail. Lynchings. Character assassination. Defamation. Cyberbullying. Volunteers who gave many years of their lives are picked out at random for cruel social experiments. The former DPL's girlfriend Molly de Blanc is given volunteers to experiment on for her crazy talks. These volunteers never consented to be used like lab rats. We don't either. debian-private can no longer be a safe space for the cabal. Let these monsters have nowhere to hide. Volunteers are not disposable. We stand with the victims.

So, the package gets uploaded as pine-3.93-2.i386.deb, but once it gets
into the i386 binary tree it has been reduced to pine-3.93-2.deb? So there
wouldn't be any package files in the distribution with the architecture as
part of the package name? That is a real help! I was having trouble
determining when a package had already been installed, as I could find no
method that would tell me when the arch was supposed to be in the package
name. So the answer is: never! Great!

Thanks for the help,
