You should have quoted that in your reply.  And are we really now
using github as the primary repository?

This doesn't make much sense to me.  If I do a make deinstall, the
package is gone.  Then all I need is a make install, and that does,
indeed, work.  make reinstall by itself also used to work.  I'll go
with the others and assume that this was a transient bug.
