So what is the suggested solution? Should I change my entry in
/etc/sources.list?
The following bash command parses the Release files for Sarge, Etch and
Lenny and prints the respective Codename and Suite fields:
for dist in sarge etch lenny; do
{ wget -q -O -
"http://ftp.de.debian.org/debian/dists/$dist/Release"; | head -n 10; wget -q -O
- "http://ftp.de.debian.org/debian/dists/${dist}-proposed-updates/Release"; |
head -n 10; } | grep -E "^(Codenam|Suit)e:";
done
Currently the output is:
Suite: oldstable
Codename: sarge
Suite: oldstable-proposed-updates
Codename: sarge-proposed-updates
Suite: stable
Codename: etch
Suite: proposed-updates
Codename: etch-proposed-updates
Suite: testing
Codename: lenny
Suite: testing-proposed-updates
Codename: testing-proposed-updates
So http://ftp.de.debian.org/debian/dists/lenny-proposed-updates/Release
is the only one that doesn't has a codename in the Codename field. This
still holds true when checking
http://ftp.de.debian.org/debian/dists/sid/Release. (I didn't add it to
the command above because obviously there is no sid-proposed-updates.)
So in my eyes the right fix is to change the Codename field in the
Release file for lenny-proposed-updates. This would make the file
consistant to the other six.
Best regards
Uwe
