Subject: software-properties-gtk: "Failed to fetch..." Character Conflicts between "-" & "/"

Date: Thu, 01 Mar 2012 18:24:16 -0800

Package: software-properties-gtk
Version: 0.60.debian-3
Severity: important

Package: software-properties-gtk (version: 0.60.debian-3)

Third Tab: Updates > [check] "Security updates (squeeze/updates)"
First Tab: Debian Software > Download From: [Other...] > {select}
[ftp3.nrc.ca], then either "ftp" or "http"
Clicking back and forth between the "ftp" & "http" will create the following
errors when Updates: "Security updates (squeeze/updates)" is checked and Debian
Software has "Source code" checked.
----------
COMBINATION "ftp" with "squeeze/updates" GENERATES:
deb-src http://ftp3.nrc.ca/debian/ squeeze/updates main

WITH THIS ERROR:
Failed to fetch
http://ftp3.nrc.ca/debian/dists/squeeze/updates/main/source/Sources.gz  404
Not Found [IP: 132.246.2.23 80]
Some index files failed to download, they have been ignored, or old ones used
instead.

COMBINATION "ftp" with "squeeze/updates" GENERATES:
deb-src ftp://ftp3.nrc.ca/debian/ squeeze/updates main

WITH THIS ERROR:
Failed to fetch
ftp://ftp3.nrc.ca/debian/dists/squeeze/updates/main/source/Sources.gz  Unable
to fetch file, server said
'/debian/dists/squeeze/updates/main/source/Sources.gz: No such file or
directory.  ' [IP: 132.246.2.23 21]
Some index files failed to download, they have been ignored, or old ones used
instead.

+++++
Switching from "Servers for Canada" to "Other" {http://ftp.ca.debian.org}
creates a similar error  when software-properties-gtk rewrites the
sources.list:
AUTO REPLACING:
deb-src http://security.debian.org/ squeeze/updates main

WITH:
deb-src http://ftp.ca.debian.org/debian/ squeeze/updates main

WHICH GENERATES THE FOLLOWING ERROR:
Failed to fetch
http://ftp.ca.debian.org/debian/dists/squeeze/updates/main/source/Sources.gz
404  Not Found [IP: 24.215.0.24 80]
Some index files failed to download, they have been ignored, or old ones used
instead.

WITH:
deb-src ftp://ftp.ca.debian.org/debian/ squeeze/updates main

WHICH GENERATES THE FOLLOWING ERROR:
Failed to fetch
ftp://ftp.ca.debian.org/debian/dists/squeeze/updates/main/source/Sources.gz
Unable to fetch file, server said 'Failed to open file.  ' [IP: 70.38.0.135 21]

STEPS TO REPLICATE:

1) Third Tab: Updates > [check] "Security updates (squeeze/updates)"
2) First Tab: Debian Software > Downloadable from the Internet > [check "Source
code"]
3) First Tab: Debian Software > Download From: [Other...] > {select}
[ftp3.nrc.ca], then either "ftp" or "http"
4) [click "Close"]
5) [click "Reload"]
6) Repeat steps 3 to 5, switching between "ftp" and "http" then reloading.

I don't really understand what you're trying to tell us here, but 
squeeze/updates and squeeze-updates are totally different things. 

The one called 'squeeze/updates' provides security updates and
you should use security.debian.org sources for this. The other
one -- called 'squeeze-updates' -- provides updates for release
critical bugs and other updates.
