Thanks, Colin, for your quick reply. That's lot and at least partly
surprising news to me.

Unfortunately, applying your provided patch reveals following errors:
patching file packages/packages.current
Hunk #1 FAILED at 34.
Hunk #2 FAILED at 295.
2 out of 2 hunks FAILED -- saving rejects to file packages/packages.current.rej

You mention the SVN repository to be outdated. I followed the
instructions under
http://www.gpg4win.org/build-installer-gnulinux.html
advising to check out the SVN version. I guess this information is not
up to date as well.

How can I check out the latest sources from GIT?  Would these sources
contain already your patch to "packages.current"?

Peter
