Ah! I need to invest the github repository, I presume. Locutus checks
out from there and apparently some adjustment of mine with the latest
updates of BOINC has not made it back into the remote git
repository....or something like it. What has found entry to the Debian
archive comes from my local repository .. and that apparently just
builds.

Cheers,

Steffen
