Package: debmirror
Version: 20070123
Severity: normal

I am mirroring custom repository which was originally generated using
debarchiver -- so there is no pool. If no "--nocleanup" switch provided it
removes source directories for debian distributions (etch,sid,sarge which have
also symlinks testing,unstable,stable... I know - old links, not yet updated).
But it operates fine on ubuntu repositories. 

Command line is
debmirror /share/debmirror/fsl -e http -h apsy.gse.uni-magdeburg.de -r debian 
-d breezy,dapper,edgy,sid,etch,sarge -s main,non-free,contrib -a 
i386,amd64,powerpc,ia64 --ignore-small-errors --pdiff=none

And I am talking about directories such as

/share/debmirror/fsl/dists/testing/non-free/source/science/

which is mentioned in

$> grep Directory fsl/dists/testing/non-free/source/Sources | uniq
Directory: dists/testing/non-free/source/science

So if there is no "--nocleanup" debmirror removes
/share/debmirror/fsl/dists/testing/non-free/source/science/ so that sources
become no longer available although listed in Source.

testing is linked to etch:

$> ls -l fsl/dists/testing
0 lrwxrwxrwx 1 kdharris adm 4 Aug  4  2006 fsl/dists/testing -> etch/
$> ls -ld fsl/dists/etch
4 drwxr-sr-x 5 debmirror adm 4096 May  2 00:43 fsl/dists/etch/


Due to this bug I kept redownloading all the sources on each invocation of
debmirror...
