The bug referred to was fixed in 60d0526 Signed-off-by: Sitaram Chamarty <sitaramc@xxxxxxxxx> --- It was fixed in September 2005 [thanks to drizzd on irc for pointing this out]. I'd also make a plea for someone who groks this better than I do to document what --force does and under what conditions it may be needed; the code looks to me like parse_pack_def should take care of the problem, but clearly it was needed for some reason that I'm not expert enough to understand.
