Re: dselect can't download Packages.gz

Here's what I get from dselect using the ftp method:

Enter ftp site [ftp.us.debian.org]:

Use passive mode [y]:

Enter username [anonymous]:

If you are using anonymous ftp to retrieve files, enter your email
address for use as a password.  Otherwise enter your password,
or "?" if you want dpkg-ftp to prompt you each time.

Enter password [joe@wow.com]:

Enter debian directory [/debian]:
Go through an authenticated FTP proxy [n]:

Note: order here is important.  Package files are scanned in order so
later distributions will override earlier ones.

So put stable before unstable.

Enter space seperated list of distributions to get
[dists/stable/main dists/stable/non-free dists/stable/contrib]:

Enter directory to download binary package files to
(relative to /var/lib/dpkg/methods/ftp/)
[debian]:

Using FTP to check directories...(stop with ^C)

Now when I Update...:

Checking for Packages file... Couldn't find Packages.gz in

Checking for Packages file... Couldn't find Packages.gz in

Checking for Packages file... Couldn't find Packages.gz in
dists/stable/contrib/binary-i386 or dists/stable/contrib; ignoring.

Any Ideas?

We maintain a debian mirror over here. I just checked everything and all looks fine.
When your specifying your distribution root, you should use /pub/debian.
Everything is relative from that point forward. ie dists/stable/main ...

I use a correct site and dist names (the Access step complete successfully), but the Update step fails to retrieve the Packages.gz files. It complains that it can't find Packages or Packages.gz in any of the main/non-free/contrib trees, which I and the Access step both verified are there.
