Package: fmirror
Version: 0.8.4-13
Tags: patch

The regular version of fmirror is unable to mirror the / (root)
directory of a remote host via FTP.  This is the common situation for
chroot+FTP environments that should be mirrored.

fmirror will fail with the following error message:

20:16:24 Operation failed: 550 No such directory.
20:16:24 Could not CWD to '..', aborting

The above problem is that with out -T given fmirror tries to execute
"CWD .." on the remote host which is not possible in the / directory.

When this is fixed, fmirror will try to mirror the remote directory to
the local / directory instead of the given local directory due to a
blatantly ignorant "%s/%s" format string.

The attached patch fixes this.
