Package: debmirror
Version: 1:2.12
Followup-For: Bug #673444

Hi,

the reason why debmirror does not download the translation files for the
sections contrib and non-free is that there are no Index files for
these sections on the Debian FTP servers.

debmirror downloads the translation files after parsing the Index files
in the i18n directories. If it doesn't find an Index file, it will not
add the translations files in that i18n directory to the download queue
and eventually not download the translation files. The Index file for
the i18n directory is present for the main section only.

Since the SHA1 sums are present in the Release files, debmirror should
probably switch to using these for downloading the translation files
instead of looking for Index files in the i18n directories. apt
has already been patched to use the Release files and not the
i18n/Index files anymore (#673444, [1]). So maybe debmirror should
be patched in the same way.

Alternatively, the FTP team needs to add the i18n/Index files for the
contrib and non-free sections.

Regards,

Adrian
