Most Bazaar repo's out of date when I try and clone

[David Gilhooley]

Hello,

I'm pretty new to bugfixing in Ubuntu and I have been having very strange
problems when trying to get the source code.

Specifically I have been trying to fix this bug
<https://bugs.launchpad.net/hundredpapercuts/+bug/1494506>, and trying to
download this repository
<https://code.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/org-mode> (I have been
following this
guide <http://packaging.ubuntu.com/html/fixing-a-bug.html> which I hope is
not outdated). Running the following command

  bzr branch lp:ubuntu/wily/org-mode

gives me a

  Packaging branch status: OUT-OF-DATE

and trying to download the version for vivid gives

bzr: ERROR: Revision
{package-import at ubuntu.com-20120425152015-ui0jo14j70zwtqf5} not present in
"Graph(StackedParentsProvider(bzrlib.repository._LazyListJoin(([CachingParentsProvider(None)],
[]))))".

Downloading the package for wily gives me the source code, but I am worried
about the fact that it is out of date. When I try and build the package
using the tutorials steps
<http://packaging.ubuntu.com/html/fixing-a-bug.html#testing-the-fix> pbuilder
fails with the below message

./org.texi:6678:  ==> Fatal error occurred, no output PDF file produced!
Transcript written on org.log.
/usr/bin/texi2dvi: pdfetex exited with bad status, quitting.
Makefile:291: recipe for target 'doc/org.pdf' failed
make[1]: *** [doc/org.pdf] Error 1

I am not sure if this is due to the out-of-date status of the package. I
have been having this problem with many of the other bugs from
ubuntu-papercuts and I am not sure if it is a problem with my workflow or
with the packages themselves. I have been following all of the
documentation I can find, but some packages build and others simply refuse
to.

Thank you for taking the time to read this. I appreciate any help and
direction that can be given.

Best,
David
