This seems odd.  As Kristian mentioned before, there are several things 
that may need to be changed with Zaptel and other associated asterisk 
packages to get them to work with 1.4.  As we make changes, they are 
being committed to SVN.  Your best bet is to subscribe to the svn commit 
list to see when something changes.

I don't personally use it.

Will likely be removed.

Will check for updates

This is not a typo.  That version of openssh is still available on the 
server (I checked).  Openssh-4.6p1 is the latest release.  We need to 
bump the version, but sometimes this requires changing a patch.  We'll 
add it to the list.

Updated (in trunk, 0.4 and asterisk-beta)

haven't seen this.  I have seen this with apcupsd, but not netsnmp

This is intended.  If for some reason the parent site moved files, the 
fail over is to grab them from an astlinux site.  They should not be 
corrupt however.  If there is a specific file that is corrupt, notify 
Kristian and he'll look into it.  With some of the other issues, I'm 
going to say that your internet connection is less than ideal and 
perhaps the source of some of the problems you are having.
