I'm tracking slink and have a local mirror of it. However, when upgrading a machine on my local network with the latest apt, I get the following error message:
Get ftp://ftp.golgotha.net slink/contrib Packages Error ftp://ftp.golgotha.net slink/contrib Packages 550 /pub/debian/debian-non-US/dists/slink/contrib/binary-i386/Packages.gz: not a plain file. Well, I'd hate to disagree with apt ;-), but the Packages.gz file is a regular file and the filesize and permissions match exactly with what's on the ftp site. This happens on main, non-free, and contrib. To make things more interesting, if I run apt from the machine where the local mirror is, it has no problems at all. And I can use the FTP method fine -- just not apt. Anyone have a clue of what's going on? My entry in /etc/apt/sources.list for the above reads: deb ftp://ftp.golgotha.net/pub/debian slink main contrib non-free -- . | For those old-timers like me who remember Randy | with nostalgia the days of 4.77mhz 8088 PCs; ([EMAIL PROTECTED]) | get that old time feeling back any time you http://www.golgotha.net | want -- just run Windows on your Pentium!
