Bug#690210: option --extra-suite and failed download of 'Packages' files
Hi,
In some circumstances, debootstrap may fail to download
'Packages' files if the option --extra-suite=unreleased is
in use (it doesn't happen with the debian-ports mirrors
but with custom mirrors). It seems that it is caused by
a forgotten 'local' declaration in the patch merged.
In the details : commit [1] added loop variables in
functions 'validate_suite' and
'download_release_indices'. Both loop variables are named
"s". And 'download_release_indices' calls 'validate_suite'.
As a result, 'validate_suite' alters the value of the
loop variable "s" of the calling function
'download_release_indices' with surprising outcome.
A 'local' declaration of variables "s" would help.
I hope it will help !
