Dear Maintainer,

the attempt to create debian-6.0.7-amd64-DVD-1.iso from
  
http://cdimage.debian.org/cdimage/archive/6.0.7/amd64/jigdo-dvd/debian-6.0.7-amd64-DVD-1.jigdo
and the default mirror http://ftp.de.debian.org/debian/ failed with the message

  Aaargh - 7 files could not be downloaded. 

Reason are at least 7 packages on the fallback mirror which is mentioned in
the .jigdo file:
  http://us.cdimage.debian.org/cdimage/snapshot/Debian
They get downloaded but not grafted into the emerging ISO image.

Five of them can be fetched from
  http://archive.debian.org/debian/
and then get grafted in.
Philip Hands confirmed in
  https://lists.debian.org/debian-cd/2017/12/msg00020.html
that the reamaining two package files are corrupt on the fallback mirror.
After he replaced them by correct copies, jigdo-lite could finish the job
and the ISO verifies with SHA256.

The problem is that jigdo-file does not tell any reason why the 7 or 2 files
did not get into effect. Its statement "could not be downloaded" is wrong,
because the program messages show that downloading worked.
The reason is obviously in the downloaded package bytes. But one only sees
that they get downloaded again and again.

I failed to find the code part in in the source which decides over
the acceptability of a package file. So i cannot propose a patch.

My jigdo-lite and jigdo-file are not the youngest Debian versions. But they
stem from the same source version and no patch on
  https://sources.debian.org/src/jigdo/0.7.3-5/debian/patches/
looks related.
