[R-sig-Debian] etch AMD64 debs missing

[Robert King]

Thanks Piet & Johannes for the backports.

There seems to be a problem with the files for the amd64 architecture getting 
out.

Here is my apt-get update

Get:1 http://cran.ms.unimelb.edu.au etch-cran/ Release.gpg [189B]

Then my apt-get upgrade complains about:

E: Unable to fetch some archives, maybe run apt-get update or try 
with --fix-missing?

The files described don't seem to be on cran.r-project.org either.
