Right. If the binary package doesn't exist, this usually means that
there was a failure of the package build for some reason. I have to
then go back through, see why the binary build failed, and fix the
database so that the source package gets the proper changes for the
next go-round. [Unfortunately, I still haven't fixed cran2deb to pull
the source package from the archive if it exists instead of trying to
rebuild it, but eventually I'll get to that point. In the meantime,
you can just let me know the package name, and I'll look into it
specifically instead of getting to it as I have extra time.]
