Thanks for the clarification.

OK, I understand.

FYI:
No, big deal - I just disabled the package - I don't think I need it anyway,
but I have tested the "ed" package and it gets a 404 Not Found when it tries
to download a patch, both from debian.org and the mirror at astlinux.org.

Also, FYI, the following non-default packages compile successfully (latest
0.4 svn, i586):

Have a nice weekend.

Kind regards,
