The Debian Edu APT repository stopped working (as in became impossible
to update) when the machine administrator.skolelinux.org was upgraded
from Lenny to Squeeze a while back.
Todays email from Moritz Molle make me even more tired of waiting
someone to fix the Debian Edu APT repositorory. Thanks to the fact that
I am home sick today and had a bit spare time on my hands, I had a look
at the problem. I'm not quite sure what the problem with dak is, nor
how to use dak, but one obvious problem showed up when I tried to look
at the problem:
administrator:~# /usr/bin/dak
Traceback (most recent call last):
File "/usr/bin/dak.orig", line 32, in <module>
import daklib.utils
ImportError: No module named daklib.utils
administrator:~#
The dak script simply failing to start seem to be a complete blocker. I
was unable to figure out why python did not have
/usr/lib/python2.6/site-packages in sys.path, but this change worked
around the problem:
administrator:~# diff -u /usr/bin/dak.orig /usr/bin/dak

With this change in place, the dak command provide usage information, at
least. Can one of the ftpmasters please check and see if dak work
better now? How can I test if it is working? If there still are
problems, let me know and I'll have a look today. I doubt I will find
time after today.
