I'm trying to do a fresh sid install using my local partial mirror and I
get stuck with a debootstrap error "2". The problem is with
dists/sid/Release.
Is there a script which creates this file? I have tried to create a
valid version to match my mirror but had no success.
TIA

I'm the maintainer of gtk+extra (libgtkextra16, libgtkextra-dev) which is
quite out of date in testing, and I have no idea why. It has no RC bugs and
the dependencies are satisfied. Maybe I'm missing something that someone
can clue me into?
gtkmm (day 10) sorely needs to make it in as well
