No, it did not. I am really just looking for a way to be able to update
the package again.

Thanks, will do.

Hmm, so does that mean ftp.gnu.org and savannah.gnu.org are two
different repositories? GNU infrastructure is somewhat a closed book to
me, but I thought savannah.gnu.org would just be a modernized interface
to the GNU directory. I might be wrong though.

As I said I lost my server credentials. From what you write I get the
impression ftp.gnu.org would be the preferable location for updates?
