Package: vserver-debiantools Version: 0.2.9 Severity: wishlist Tags: patch Hi,
the script newvserver is creating /etc/apt/sources.list with non-US part of the Debian archive. non-US archive was deprecated before release of Sarge, so the script should not add it anymore. Installing Etch as a guest produces few unnecessary messages from APT saying that Packages.gz / Sources.gz for non-US are not available. I suggest to remove the following two lines from the script: deb http://non-us.debian.org/debian-non-US $DIST/non-US main contrib non-free deb-src http://non-us.debian.org/debian-non-US $DIST/non-US main contrib non-fr Next, the /etc/apt/sources.list is by default adding main, contrib and non-free sections. Since Sarge the Debian installer is not adding contrib and non-free for new installations by default. My suggestion is to also add only the main section in newvserver script. Patch for both issues is attached. -- Miroslav Kure
