I see. Maybe I have no problem because I never actually use the *web*
interface to Cheeseshop. I just say "easy_install mercurial" or
whatever, and everything just works - unless of course, the package you
are trying to install is wxwidgets or psycopg2 or openldap, or any
others of a bunch I could name, in which case the download works fine by
the installation just fails. :(
