debmirror fails: "argument bla isn't numeric in division..."

[Joao Pedro Clemente <jpcl@rnl.ist.utl.pt>]

This is really strange.
Im trying to mirror a sarge tree... I can't get the "packagesxxx.gz" into
my disk...
Check the last lines... It really makes me think of what is wrong... I
checked the script but I'm no perl expert so I so nothing wrong at the
line mentioned...


mySarge:~# debmirror -v --nosource --passive --host=ftp.debian.org
--method=http --dist=sarge --getcontents  /mnt/beach/debmirror/debian
