My thanks as well.

That sounds good, particularly if there were two (or more) patches
involving the tar.gz file, which would explain the continued persistence of
the repository corruption.  Otherwise I'd like to have a chance to look at
the corrupt repository (which won't happen this week while I'm at a
conference).

If is just the one patch adding the tarball, then I'd not close the bug
just yet.  If there are more than one, then I think I know why there's a
problem, and it should be fixed, and you could close the bug before I have
a chance to look at the repo.

Gotta go...
