dselect ftp hamm
I have had no problems using dselect ftp to install files from all directories but hamm. I answer the ftp prompts in an obvious fashion and voila everything works OK. What do I do to install files from /debian/hamm/hamm /debian/hamm/contrib and /debian/hamm/non-free? That is, how do I answer the ftp prompts from dselect so that I can install the files from the above directories? I've tried various answers to the prompts with no success. It's driving me bananas. Another of life's little mysteries. Any help appreciated. Cheers, Victor -- TO UNSUBSCRIBE FROM THIS MAILING LIST: e-mail the word unsubscribe to [EMAIL PROTECTED] .

Below is the patch you need to apply to /usr/lib/dpkg/methods/ftp/install
Then, in access step of dselect, you have to choose debian/ as the top
directory, and hamm/hamm hamm/contrib hamm/non-free as the distributions.

I don't believe this particular problem is fixed in 1.3.1 There weren't any new releases of dpkg-ftp other than those in experimental. This particular problem only affects downloading from unstable, however, and shouldn't ever cause any problems with stable. -- Proudly running Debian Linux!
