I have updated this for you.

The self-service method to achieve this is briefly mentioned in [1], 
since this address is just taken from a file which you can overwrite 
with sftp.

Are you sure that's what happened here?

I think the files complained about here were uploaded on 2025-11-07, as 
an attempted duplicate upload of python-imaging-11.3.0 (previously 
uploaded on 2025-09-26).

For historical reasons, we don't automatically purge such files, just in 
case the uploader needs them.

(Occasionally I manually purge such files, but I hadn't got around to it 
yet in this case.)
