It looks like 18 and 65 were re-reinstalled this morning. 39 appears to
be down at the moment. I think it said somehign about wanting an
apt-get dist-upgrade. They definately looked like they were doing
something for tens of minutes before they failed, but I wasn't really
paying a lot of attention to them. Perhaps there was some weird timing
with some Ubuntu package upgrade getting published during the install
process?
