Package: apt-mirror Version: 0.4.4-2 Severity: normal
If apt-mirror is unable to download deb files (eg, source mirror is temporarily missing files, maybe it has bad update logic), apt-mirror still goes ahead an moves the source mirrors listing files from "skeleton" to "mirror". This creates an inconsistent local mirror. apt-mirror should check for errors after downloading the .deb files (perhaps by re-running the "Proceed indexes" logic). If this check fails then apt-mirror should fail with a warning, telling you to retry with one of the following (new) options: --retry-downloads -> Same logic as usual, except that package listings are not re-downloaded into skeleton. --force -> Run the usual logic, but don't check for download errors (ie, potentially create an inconsistent local mirror). --force and --retry-downloads could also be run together. -- System Information: Debian Release: testing/unstable APT prefers testing APT policy: (990, 'testing') Architecture: i386 (i686) Shell: /bin/sh linked to /bin/bash Kernel: Linux 2.6.16-2-686 Locale: LANG=en_ZA, LC_CTYPE=en_ZA (charmap=ISO-8859-1) Versions of packages apt-mirror depends on: ii perl 5.8.8-6.1 Larry Wall's Practical Extraction ii perl-modules 5.8.8-6.1 Core Perl modules ii wget 1.10.2-2 retrieves files from the web apt-mirror recommends no packages. -- no debconf information -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe".
