I did some more analysis on hppa. During build of choose-mirror, the file "mirrors_http.h" is created based on the input of the Mirrors.masterlist file. On hppa this mirrors_http.h file has no entries, because hppa is a "ports" architecture, and the perl "mirrorlist" script only parses mirror entries for the target architecture if they are listed in the "Archive-architecture:" lines (of Mirrors.masterlist). For hppa the mirrorlist script needs to parse the "Ports-architecture:" lines instead. The attached patch is a hack which I'll try now on hppa. My assumption is, that choose-mirror will find no possible mirror entries at runtime and thus exists with a "succeeded but requested to be left unconfigured” status". Does by any chance the generated "mirrors_http.h" file on armel has no entries as well? Maybe it's a similar issue (although armel isn't a ports architecture) ? Helge
