-----BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE----- What is the appropriate method of pointing the ftp method of dselect to the hamm distribution. I have tried the following. Each has it's own problem:
ftpsite: llug.sep.bnl.gov debian base: /pub/debian distributions: unstable non-free contrib problem: these aren't the hamm non-free and hamm-contrib. They are stable debian base: /pub/debian/hamm distributions: hamm non-free contrib problem: paths in Packages file assume debian base of /pub/debian so files aren't found (ie. ftp method looks for /pub/debian/hamm/unstable/...) debian base: /pub/debian distributions: unstable hamm/non-free hamm/contrib problem: dpkg --merge names the Packages file Pacakges.hamm_non-free and Packages.hamm_contrib but ftp method expects something else (it complains that the Packages file is missing and I should run Update). This is clearly caused by the '/' in the distribution name. Is there a solution? Or is this an unresolved bug with the ftp method? Should there be some kind of unstable-non-free and unstable-contrib symlinks in the /pub/debian?
