Can you give an example of a debmirror command where this is needed?
I tried with security.debian.org [1] which does not have a d-i section
for lenny, but I don't get any errors (even without --dry-run). So it
seems that non-existing sections are already skipped without any problems.
Also note that if none of the dists that are being mirrored have a d-i
section, then the easiest solution is to simply not specify it.
[1] debmirror --dry-run --host=security.debian.org --method=http \
--dist=lenny/updates --root=debian-security \
--section=main,main/debian-installer \
--nosource --verbose --ignore-release tmp
Mirroring to tmp from http://security.debian.org/debian-security/
Arches: i386
Dists: lenny/updates
Sections: main,main/debian-installer
Pdiff mode: use
Will clean up AFTER mirroring.
Attempting to get lock, this might take 2 minutes before it fails.
