BTW, i will to spend more time on the problem associated to the detection of repositories... a part of the code just look very weird (it seems that some times we skip remote repositories when we parse the .url file for a given distro). I will investigate the problem.

I just have to do "sudo aptitude update" && "sudo aptitude upgrade" to get the new Debian packages :) Now the bootstrap process immediately dies out with an error, after these last changes. (See attached bootstrap_error.log) I tried to dig up into what causes this -- Remote repositories (http, ftp) are returned as empty and hence repos_list_urlfile does not populate it into @remote and hence @pools. --- PackagePath.pm 2008-08-06 14:22:35.000000000 -0600 +++ PackagePath_modified.pm 2008-08-07 00:50:19.000000000 -0600 @@ -422,6 +422,8 @@ # sub repo_empty ($) { my ($path) = (@_); + # How are we going to check if remote repositories (http, ftp) are empty are not? + return 0 if (repo_local($path) == 0); $path =~ s,^file:/,/,; return 1 if (! -d $path); my $entries = 0; This seems to take me further, but I encounter distro repository issues about "no matching packages found".

Are you planning to put this merge back onto the OSCAR svn repo? I can probably test for Ubuntu and RHEL x86, and directly commit such patches upstream.
