This raises the question what exactly a user has to do when jigdo-lite says: -------------------------------------------------------------------- Aaargh - 1 files could not be downloaded. This should not happen! Depending on the problem, it may help to retry downloading the missing files. Also, you could try changing to another Debian or Non-US server, in case the one you used is out of sync. However, if all the files downloaded without errors and you still get this message, it means that the files changed on the server, so the image cannot be generated. As a last resort, you could try to complete the CD image download by fetching the remaining data with rsync. -------------------------------------------------------------------- I plan to submit bug reports for jigdo-lite regarding this situation and the lack of information about .old files. For now i collect problems and remedies. I already have: - jigdo-lite does not unambiguously report which packages are still missing. wget reports successful downloads. But the user needs deeper knowledge about Jigdo's principles in order to know why this success of wget is not success of jigdo-lite and that the reported package name is the the one to look for as .old version. The lookup in the "Files to scan:" directory issues no package names at all. - The scheme of .old names should be mentioned explicitely in above problem prose. - If the .old scheme of the archive is official and in most cases deterministic, then jigdo-lite could try to handle the situation automatically by deriving the .old name from the name of a package which could be downloaded but then failed the checksum test. (I hope to learn more about the number of .old packages and the regularity of their names in respect to the original names. Any hint how to get an overview would be welcome.) - After completing the ISO by "Files to scan:", there remains the .jigdo.unpacked file, which normally gets removed after download with "Debian mirror" is complete. (This belongs to our problem because "Files to scan" is how the .old files get into the ISO.) Anybody has more complaints about jigdo-lite in this situation ? Have a nice day :) Thomas
