There is no uptime.exe in sh-utils-2.0.15-1.

Are you saying that you want to eliminate uptime.exe from your
package?  The alternative is two different packages with two different
executables.  That is not acceptable.

If that's what you want then you still need to release a new version of
your package.  It seems sort of silly to have you remove uptime.exe from
your package, have me re-add it to mine, track down why it is not
working (if it isn't working -- I didn't even check it), and then have
both of us do a new release (although I'm in the process of creating a
new release to deal with Volker's problems now anyway).

I don't see much logic in putting uptime.exe back in sh-utils.
