Description Andreas K. Hüttel archtester gentoo-dev 2016-12-17 18:46:36 UTC
Tried running "repoman manifest" on pecker. This failed before I could actually do something, since metadata.dtd was outdated but I didnt have permissions to replace it... resulting in a python backtrace. 

This should at most cause a warning but not a hard failure.
