Actually, no files were lost whatsoever. There wasn't a big crash. We
just had way too much traffic that freedesktop.org couldn't handle...

Sooo...we did nuke a few files that were in violation, and I'm not sure
about that one file in particular...does anyone else know?

Try downloading the old packages to see if in there...and/or search via
google...
