thanks for your report. choose-mirror in squeeze no longer builds because of the cvs.d.o URL change (cvs.d.o → anonscm.d.o); this is trivially fixed by updating Makefile with the new URL: http://cvs.debian.org/*checkout*/webwml/english/mirror/Mirrors.masterlist?rev=HEAD&cvsroot=webwml&content-type=text/plain You can work around that bug by pretending you're offline, setting ONLINE=n in the environment. But that won't get you an updated list. SRM, ACK on principle for the following trivial update in squeeze? | $ diff -u Makefile ~/debian-installer/packages/choose-mirror/Makefile | --- Makefile 2010-02-11 21:01:30.000000000 +0100 | +++ /home/cbrulebois/debian-installer/packages/choose-mirror/Makefile 2012-03-12 10:17:11.675539977 +0100 | @@ -27,7 +27,7 @@ | LIBS=-ldebconfclient -ldebian-installer | | # Derivative distributions may want to change these. | -MIRRORLISTURL=http://cvs.debian.org/*checkout*/webwml/english/mirror/Mirrors.masterlist?rev=HEAD&cvsroot=webwml&content-type=text/plain | +MIRRORLISTURL=http://anonscm.debian.org/viewvc/webwml/webwml/english/mirror/Mirrors.masterlist?revision=HEAD | MASTERLIST=Mirrors.masterlist | | ifdef DEBUG In which case I'll prepare a proper debdiff.
