All versions keyworded for ~amd64 that I tested exhibited this failure.

The newer ones appear to have the same problem as the earlier ones, but they mask the real error and replace it with a "helpful" fallback error, assuming that if it can't load from ".", then "you might be in the wrong directory".

But alas, that's wrong. See the tracker bug for more details.

A newer version will need to be stabilized on alpha I guess... as its stable version is far older

or maybe alpha version being moved to testing as nothing seems to need it

Bug is fixed in ~arch, only stabilization needs to be done (bug 671682)
