Ah ... OK, didn't know that. In the past (and present) it is
quite common for other OS that users are told to get updates
when no updates even exist. :-\ 

Had this problem with OBERON and had to insist that the
'maintainer' for the PPP code release what he had to me
unfinished and I finished it myself to get OBERON onto the
Internet. I was annoyed but enjoyed seeing the OS act as a
browser. Very unusual OS. :-)
