[cross-project-issues-dev] weird MPC versions causing grief

[Stephan Herrmann <stephan.herrmann@xxxxxxxxx>]

We've been getting some desperate bug reports about failing installations, all 
mentioning that mpc artifacts cannot be found. This already happened with 
version 1.7.7 but today I found some weirdness regarding version 1.8.1:

Eclipse fails to update saying:
No repository found containing: 
osgi.bundle,org.eclipse.epp.mpc.core,1.8.1.v20191107-0507
No repository found containing: 
osgi.bundle,org.eclipse.epp.mpc.ui,1.8.1.v20191119-1757
No repository found containing: 
org.eclipse.update.feature,org.eclipse.epp.mpc,1.8.1.v20191119-1757

but the published version is actually 1.8.1.v20191106-1317 for all of the above.

How did the above versions leak to users, and what can they do to fix their 
updating?
