| Hi,
I leave the fully quoted text below to enable debian-devel
readers to understand the problem.
I was not able to access raptor (s390) and on casals (mips)
I've got
$ apt-get source clustalw
Reading package lists... Done
Building dependency tree... Done
E: Unable to find a source package for clustalw
Is there any chance to move clustalw to testing?
Kind regards
Andreas.
