This is a really crude (and my favoured) method of seeing what Apt is
using as sources for a particular package. If you look down through
the file paths, each one has got a URL in it. These are all

gb.archive.ubuntu.com_ubuntu_dists_precise_main_binary-i386_Packages

which is the 'standard' ubuntu repositiory, suggesting that either Apt
is not querying the LO PPA or the LO PPA simply has no packages in it.

It's since been pointed out that perhaps nothing's being built into
the LO PPA, but I thought I'd share my planned diagnosis with you (and
perhaps incite others to suggest more elegant ways of doing this :) )
