Are you telling me that all this time I have been updating the repo lists in both app managers unnecessarily? [Half an hour later...] Err, no. FAM does not pick up the changes made in HAM. I had to update both. Oh, and as kolos said, the merlin mirror gives me hash mishmash but the recommended skeiron mirror is not a cure: it gives me "sub-process bzip2 returned an error code (2)". What am I doing wrong?
