The problem with the test Brian is that karmic has a main/debian- installer section and the problem occurs when main/debian-installer doesn't exist.
The problem usually manifests itself in new dists, in the -updates, -proposed, and -backports trees, and maybe even security. If you want to test it you need to test it against a dist that doesn't have a debian-installer section at the moment like natty-updates. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is a direct subscriber. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/34376 Title: missing main/debian-installer in repo causes debmirror to fail -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
