muttng and unstable packages.txt

I am a mutt user, and after reading the recent threads on email clients, I decided to check out muttng.  I uncommented the unstable repo in /etc/pacman.conf, but was unable to download muttng (see error message below). 

If you browse ftp://ftp.archlinux.org/unstable/os/i686/ you will see two muttng packages: muttng-20060424-1.pkg.tar.gz and muttng-20060827-1.pkg.tar.gz

However, the packages.txt file in that directory lists: network/muttng-20060616-1.pkg.tar.gz

It appears to me that the version in the packages.txt file is what pacman looks for in the repo, but it does not find it, which causes the error I am seeing.  Any help is appreciated.

Re: muttng and unstable packages.txt

The root cause of all this is probably the unstable repo's need for a gensync - I'm saying probably because I've never seen an unsynced repo cause that kind of an error before. It should be sorted out fairly soon, but file a bug anyway.

Now the good news - you can still install the latest version of muttng like this:

pacman -A ftp://ftp.archlinux.org/unstable/os/i686/muttng-20060827-1.pkg.tar.gz

(Substitute your local mirror, if you prefer.)
