[Bug 34376] Re: missing main/debian-installer in repo causes debmirror to fail

[gaZooGA]

I can also confirm the bug is still present. I even downloaded the
latest release
http://ftp.de.debian.org/debian/pool/main/d/debmirror/debmirror_2.3.1.tar.gz
and it did not help.

** Description changed:

  Debmirror can be used to create a local mirror which in turn can be used
  for netboot based installation in a LAN.
  
  When you try to create a mirror that includes:
  
  --dist=feisty,feisty-updates,feisty-security
  and
  --section=main,restricted,universe,multiverse,main/debian-installer
  
  debmirror fails with a "HTTP 404" error.
  
  The "main/debian-installer" section is needed for netboot installations.
- When Feisty was started (or fro that matter dapper, edgy), the main
- /debian-installer section was only present in feisty (but not in fesity-
- updates, feisty-security....).
+ When Feisty was started (or for that matter dapper, edgy, jaunty,
+ karmic), the main/debian-installer section was only present in feisty
+ (but not in fesity-updates, feisty-security....).
  
  IMHO, this is not an issue with debmirror and creating the "main/debian-
  installer" section for all the repositories on the server, by default,
  will resolve the issue.
