Binary package hint: debmirror
Running Ubuntu 10.04, using debmirror 1:2.4.4ubuntu2.
Trying to download the "Canonical" repository into a "PartnerRepos" directory, as follows:
---<cut>---
mkdir PartnerRepos
debmirror --method=http --host=archive.canonical.com --root=ubuntu \
--dist=lucid,lucid-backports,lucid-proposed,lucid-security,lucid-updates \
--section=partner --arch=amd64,i386 --progress PartnerRepos
---</cut>---
This terminates with an error: "Duplicate dist"
---<cut>---
Get Release files.
[0%] Getting: dists/lucid/Release... ok
[0%] Getting: dists/lucid/Release.gpg... ok
[0%] Getting: dists/lucid-backports/Release... ok
[0%] Getting: dists/lucid-backports/Release.gpg... ok
Duplicate dist lucid.
---</cut>---
Apparently, the lucid version of "debmirror" assumes that a repository
has only one dist by default, and explicitly handles the "Ubuntu"
repository in a special way, to support its multiple dists. The same
problem occurs under maverick (which uses the same debmirror version as
lucid), as well as under the current natty pre-release.
