Try running the following on one of those broken packages. The command should 
be on one line and bash...tbz2 should of course be replaced.

python -c 'import xpak; tbz2=xpak.tbz2("bash-3.0-r5.tbz2"); print 
tbz2.getelements("CATEGORY")'

If it's empty, that's the problem. I had a lot of trouble following your 
previous email. Would you be able to list step-by-step how to reproduce the 
problem?
