==== Local Packages ====

 * Updated `bittorrent` to 5.0.8
 * Updated `curl` to 7.16.3
 * Updated `perl-Net-DNS` to 0.60
 * Updated `ppp` to update the bundled Fedora spec in the source package
 * Updated `proftpd` to add auditing modules to the PAM configuration where appropriate
 * Updated `tidy` to the same CVS snapshot from February that Fedora has

Whilst building these packages, I noticed a worrisome problem in the buildsystem:
`mock` was occasionally failing to download a package needed as a build requirement for
something, but this was not preventing it from attempting to build the package.
I noticed because the missing build requirements caused the actual package build to fail,
but that might not always happen, and a package built with reduced functionality might
be the result instead.

I [[http://www.redhat.com/archives/fedora-buildsys-list/2007-June/msg00118.html|raised this]]
on [[http://www.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/fedora-buildsys-list|fedora-buildsys-list]] and was
asked for an easy way to reproduce the problem, which I managed to find.
It remains to be seen whether it's a `mock` or a `yum` problem.
Something to watch out for when doing builds though.
