I suspect this has to do with the fact that some of the packages have been
shared between RH and Fedora and sometimes the sharing stops working. I'm
not doing that any longer since it doesn't seem to work reliably. In return
I'll probably stop maintaining old Fedora builds.

Sorry, but it's a volunteer service and I'd be just as happy to let somebody
else do it. Until then, I guess people will have to live with the occasional
hiccup. They're not intentional.
