From: Julian Gilbey <J.D.Gilbey@qmw.ac.uk>
Package: apt
Version: 0.1.9
I wanted to point apt at the slink-proposed-updates. So I tried this
in my sources.list (line break for readability):
deb ftp://ftp.mcc.ac.uk/pub/linux/distributions/Debian/dists \
slink-proposed-updates/
That found the Packages file but not the packages, whereas
deb ftp://ftp.mcc.ac.uk/pub/linux/distributions/Debian \
slink-proposed-updates/
found the packages but not the package file.
I think there maybe something a tiny bit wrong when it comes to
deciding whether to put a "dists" in the path or not.
