Bug#960661: multistrap: Incorrect error message when downloading keyring package fails
Package: multistrap
Version: 2.2.0ubuntu2
Severity: minor
Tags: patch
Dear Maintainer,
I am sending this from a system that deliberately has no Internet
access, and reportbug does not handle that well. So I had to copy/paste
this message into Thunderbird on another machine, which in turn doesn't
seem to let me add mail headers such as X-Debbugs-Cc: o.seibert@syseleven.de
If you run multistrap on a configuration which includes keyrings, such
as
> [ubuntu-security]
> source=http://archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu
> keyring=ubuntu-keyring
> suite=focal-security
> components=main universe restricted
and downloading the keyring fails for whatever reason, the error message
is wrong.
This can much more easily happen if the patch for bug 870166 is not
applied, because then multistrap then wrongly thinks that a download
failed, the second time a keyring is processed.
