[Labs-l] Failure to support database dumps on labs

[John]

I thought I included the link.... https://phabricator.wikimedia.org/T47646
is for the two year old ticket. (that should make context a little clearer)

Dan the basic dumps from dumps.wikimedia.org is all that I need, if you
take a look at the path I provided the dumps for

20150112
20150204
20150205

are all missing.
