Description Mike MacCana 2004-03-25 04:58:33 UTC
Description of problem:
When attempting to use a directory repository (configured in sources
with the line 'dir mikes-custom-packages /var/ftp/pub/extras') I get
the following message.

up2date -i dnstracer

Fetching Obsoletes list for channel: dag-dag...
 
Fetching Obsoletes list for channel: mikes-custom-packages...
