Oh, I see... This was few days ago, and I reported it here... missed to
cross it out in my mail.

whop... a, the additional option "--reconfigure" is displayed, and I
read it before reading the lines before... My fault...

Yes, that's deep down the rabbit whole... never got so far

Hm. It took me quite a while to figure that out, and I can't reconstruct
what went wrong in the first place. This variable was not always set, so
it can't be the root of the problem. Maybe it had something to do with a
unsourced "env.sh" file? Or something with meshing omniOrb into an
Ubuntu-system without restarting? Just guesses, though...

> autoproj status shows what would be changed in every package.
Ah, I see. Cool. But "autoproj status" somehow chooses a local branch
(not master) to check against autobuild, which doesn't exist remote...

Oh, just a habit to google everything. rock-robotics.org seems not
ranked high enough yet...

I'm pleased to have helped.
