This actually appears to be a problem with the Ubuntu archive, not debmirror. The Release files in the Ubuntu archive are missing hashes for the Contents-* files. E.g., see:
http://archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/dists/precise/Release Compare this to a Debian archive's Release file, which *does* list the Contents-* files: http://archive.debian.org/debian/dists/lenny/Release I think there's a minor bug here where debmirror should be complaining that it can't find Contents files rather than silently dropping them, but the underlying problem seems to be with the Ubuntu archive. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/638498 Title: debmirror ignores --getcontents To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/debmirror/+bug/638498/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
