Hi Sean,

Yeah, that's exactly what I was looking for, thanks!  Except for one
thing -- it doesn't seem to want to work for me at the moment:

---
# debmirror -e rsync -r :debian /d02/debian/unstable/
dists/unstable/main/binary-i386/Packages.gz: No such file or directory
at /usr/bin/debmirror line 399.
releasing 1 pending lock... at /usr/lib/perl5/LockFile/Simple.pm line
182.
---

But it's definitely there.  Am I missing something or am I the only
person this is happening to?

Thanks again,

Bill
