these paths don't exist. When I include 'bzr-moved' as second last
path component, it almost works: checkout complains that the
repository is read only, so I tried branch instead of checkout (I'm
new to bzr, so forgive me if I'm missing something), which worked.

Compiling and installing on dapper/amd64 also worked like a charm
after I compiled a current version of common-lisp-controller. The
repository at http://people.debian.org/~pvaneynd/cl-dapper-packages
contains clc version 6.9 according to the package index, but
installation failed with 404 not found.

Great.

      Goodbyte, Gerd.
