Package: debmirror Version: 1:2.8 Severity: normal I noticed by debmirror run this morning was downloading 21G for Ubuntu, rather than the usual ~2G. Digging through my logs, I can see this has repeated once every few days, for both Debian & Ubuntu mirrors.
One run has this happen (not quite sure why, I'll keep my eyes open for it): [ 90%] Getting: dists/natty-security/main/source/Sources.gzok Use of uninitialized value $filename in substitution (s///) at /usr/bin/debmirror line 1075, <FILE> chunk 1. Use of uninitialized value $architecture in hash element at /usr/bin/debmirror line 1079, <FILE> chunk 1. Use of uninitialized value $filename in substitution (s///) at /usr/bin/debmirror line 1075, <FILE> chunk 2. Use of uninitialized value $architecture in hash element at /usr/bin/debmirror line 1079, <FILE> chunk 2. (repeated many times) Then it goes on a big deletion spree in postcleanup, and the next time the mirror runs, it has to re-download ~20G, which sounds like a whole suite to me. Hopefully I'll work out what's causing this and follow-up soon.
