Slavek,

  Thank you. I can't believe I missed it! The build for tdeartwork failed due to
signatures on dependencies having expired causing needed perl packages to not
install:

checking package integrity...
error: perl-lwp-mediatypes: signature from "Justin Davis (juster)
<-----@...>" is unknown trust
error: perl-net-http: signature from "Justin Davis (juster) <-----@...>"
is unknown trust
error: perl-www-robotrules: signature from "Justin Davis (juster)
<-----@...>" is unknown trust
error: perl-libwww: signature from "Justin Davis (juster) <-----@...>" is
unknown trust
error: failed to commit transaction (invalid or corrupted package)
Errors occurred, no packages were upgraded.

  That caused tde-artwork to not be built. At 3:00 it was a forest for the trees
issue.
