Thanks.  But I have gotten this warning every day for at least 10 days
now.  New packages are constantly being added, the same as in the
past.  The message is new.  Is there some new problem?

Is there a way to tell which packages MiKTeX does recommend updating
now, and which they recommend waiting for?

best, Colin

Well, in a discussion in one of my bug reports Christian confirmed
the existence of the warning - it appears when the packages are new. 

Also I wouldn't worry about the typo: in german "untested"
is written "ungetestet".

[MiKTeX] Warning about "untestet packages"

[Colin McLarty <colin.mclarty@ca...>]

I have been using MiKTeX update for a very long time.  But every time
I tried it for the past week or two I got a warning message which I
have never seen before:

"This repository contains untestet packages.  It is recommended that
you wait a few days before updating."

It does include that mispelled word "untestet."

It comes formatted as if it is from MiKTeX but I suspect it is some
kind of hack.  It is for real?

This happens when I select an intact, no delay repository from the
MiKTeX list; and when I take the "Use the nearest package repository"
option.

thanks, Colin

I have the same problem too. A bug report has already been filled.
