To hack around the problem, my debmirror script looks like this. #!/bin/bash SERVER=ftp.debian.org SERVER_DIR=/debian DIR=/srv/ftp/debian
debmirror --progress --host=$SERVER --method=ftp \ --root=$SERVER_DIR --section=main \ --arch=i386 --dist=etch --postcleanup \ --ignore-small-errors \ $DIR cd $DIR/project/trace wget ftp://$SERVER/$SERVER_DIR/project/trace/* The last two lines are the hack around the problem. It seems like this would a relatively simple addition to debmirror in the ftp case since the ftp connection is closed right above the creation of the trace files in the debmirror script. I just wanted to add this info to the bug so it was documented. wt -- Warren Turkal, Research Associate III Colorado State University, Dept. of Atmospheric Science -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe".
