I can go and push all the new packages to the server today, which will
save you from having to see a warning that packages might be "local",
but I warn you - all your NBX users on 10.04 are going to get a whole
lot of nasty warnings appearing.  Is that OK?

Otherwise my suggestion would be to re-run my installer script and let
it clean things up for you:
