All, 
   After basically a hard week of debugging, John and I believe we've
found (and fixed) a number of critical bugs in the database code in 1.0.

1.0.2 contains at least 3 big fixes, all centered around multi-arch
packages and how to deal with them during database creation.

Please upgrade, and yes, you will need to re-create your databases. I 
apologize for this - I had hoped all 1.0.x releases would be db
compatible, but this time the bug was in the db code itself.

The BitKeeper tree is about to go up - when its actually working and
downloadable, I'll post a separate announcement here.

If anyone is interested in keeping the shelve implementation alive (IE,
the way current stores its data now) after the sql patch is included,
please speak up. John, Toby and I have put a large amount of work into
the sql work, and I personally am beginning to hate the shelve backend.
