There are 2699 packages on axp0 waiting to be picked up since friday.  I
have emailed at least twice about this.  I've run a second pass but only
got one extra package on the second pass.  I had assumed that something
critical had failed, but it doesn't look like it. It seems that some
important package is listed as 'broken' on the alpha and is blocking out
over half the tree via dependencies.

Is there a way to tell the package build to not delete the package if the
plist stuff is out of sync?  This seems to be the cause of lots of missing
packages on alpha for fairly minor things (forgetting to rmdir an alpha
specific directory, for example)

Cheers,
-Peter
