This means that
A. My account on ftp.microworld.net aka www.debian.org has no read 
   permission on them or
B. for some reason (e.g. /tmp full) dpkg-deb couldn't process them.

Please inform me in person directly next time this happens.

The current order is most recently first.

You know I'm busy with my MSc thesis. If you want to implement extensions
to /FTP, please contact me in person.

Greetings,
