Package: netselect-apt Version: 0.3.ds1-12.1 Severity: important The list of mirrors that netselect-apt is pulling currently includes a lot of old non-us mirrors. This is causing the app to return bad results. For example I tried running netselect-apt using both testing and lenny as distro names. In each case the mirror that was returned was: http://debian.planetmirror.com/debian-non-US/
This is a bad mirror. Removing that and the next one was also a non-us pointing mirror. Doing a global edit on mirrors_full to remove all the non-us sites res- olved the problem. Since non-us is no longer functional for any supported release I suggest that some logic be placed in netselect-apt that will simply ignore any site that points to non-us. The regex I used to edit mirrors_full and get it to work: [^\n]+[Nn]on-[Uu][Ss][^\n]+\n and I simply removed any lines that matched this. You may be able to apply this when creating the mirrors_full file. -jcm -- System Information: Debian Release: squeeze/sid APT prefers testing APT policy: (990, 'testing'), (100, 'unstable'), (1, 'experimental'), (1, 'stable') Architecture: amd64 (x86_64) Kernel: Linux 2.6.28.7+00.fbcondecor (SMP w/2 CPU cores; PREEMPT) Locale: LANG=en_US.UTF-8, LC_CTYPE=en_US.UTF-8 (charmap=UTF-8) Shell: /bin/sh linked to /bin/dash Versions of packages netselect-apt depends on: ii netselect 0.3.ds1-12.1 Choose the fastest server automati ii wget 1.11.4-2 retrieves files from the web netselect-apt recommends no packages. netselect-apt suggests no packages. -- no debconf information -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-bugs-dist-requ...@lists.debian.org with a subject of "unsubscribe".
