Forwarding this because the problem is caused by curl failing.
Let me know if you agree this is the same bug and I will merge it (or
feel free to do so).

all silently fail. dropping the --silent option:
/usr/bin/curl --fail --include
"http://debian.osuosl.org/debian/dists/lenny/Release";
curl: (6) Could not resolve host: debian.osuosl.org (DNS server returned
answer with no data)
which sounds similar to debian bug #478864, possibly.
host debian.osuosl.org
debian.osuosl.org has address 140.211.166.134
debian.osuosl.org is an alias for ftp.osuosl.org.
debian.osuosl.org is an alias for ftp.osuosl.org.
so, i switched to ftp.osuosl.org, and it seems to work fine:
/usr/bin/curl --fail --include
"http://ftp.osuosl.org/debian/dists/lenny/Release";

so maybe there's something wrong with handling of CNAMEs ?
thanks!
