Package: apt
Version: 0.3.19
Severity: normal
I want to mirror parts of Debian on my notebook. Therefore, I've written a
script that downloads installed packages and moves them to ftp (sort of
apt-move, but different). It works fine for most packages, but not for bc,
epplets and a few others. I think this is due to the fact that I'm using
ftp.nl.debian.org (fast, but sometimes out of sync) as primairy, and
ftp.debian.org as secundairy. When I try to do
'apt-get --reinstall -d -y install <pkg>', it usually downloads <pkg> in
/var/cache/apt/archives. Only for some packages, it refuses to download, and I
don't know why. Is this a bug? If not, how can I download the bc-package (and
the others)?
I've put my sources.list here:
deb ftp://donald-duck.ele.tue.nl/debian woody main
deb ftp://donald-duck.ele.tue.nl/debian lotn main
deb ftp://ftp.nl.debian.org/debian unstable main contrib non-free
deb-src ftp://ftp.nl.debian.org/debian unstable main contrib non-free
deb ftp://ftp.debian.org/debian unstable main contrib non-free
deb ftp://non-us.debian.org/debian-non-US unstable/non-US main contrib non-free
## DCF zooi:
