The file Vanilla/aclocal.m4 is still there.

I suppose that is possible. I've noticed it takes an inordinately long
time from when I do "darcs pull" or "darcs get" until it comes back
with any response indicating how many (if any) new patches there are.
I have a relatively fast CPU and when I tested this on a T1 connection
I noticed the same thing.

Ok what is the procedure for filing a darcs related bug?

Will try that thanks. Your website is interesting. I speak a little
French but need to refresh since I forgot so much over the years.
