Package: mirror
Version: 2.9-52
Severity: normal
Hello Ian,
given the following mirror file:
package=denx
site=ftp.denx.de
remote_dir=/pub
local_dir=denx
passive_ftp=true
recursive=true
, mirror creates the directory denx/LinuxPPC/usr/src/RTAI, mirrors it,
and complains afterwards:
package=denx ftp.denx.de:/pub -> denx
No files to transfer
rmdir( LinuxPPC/usr/src/RTAI ) before symlink failed: Directory not empty
I'm running mirror on a sarge system with patch 2.5.9-2 and perl 5.8.4-8.
With kind regards,
Baurzhan.

No problem, me either :) .

Nope, see the original bug report -- there have been no communication
failures reported.

This used to be drwxr-xr-x in my case, and all contents of ../../../RTAI
were downloaded twice.
However, I can't reproduce the problem any more, mirror works correctly
for me right now. I'll open a new bug if I'm able to reproduce it.
Thanks for your support!
With kind regards,
Baurzhan.
