Hi Peter,

I have done update patches for most of the packages listed below.
One I had problems with was pcmciautils as I could not find a location 
for the source tarball. I tried my usual trick to see where Arch Linux 
gets it from but they no longer have pcmciautils as a package in the 
standard repos or the AUR , so it is no longer available anywhere on 
Arch Linux.

Do you have any info on where I can get the source tarball from?

Regards,

Adolf.
