[Slapt-get-devel] Bug in 0.9.10.d

[A.J. Venter]

I did a lot of checking, and it's definitely a bug in 0.9.10d - it doesn't 
happen if you revert to 0.9.10c

The problem lies with repositories like stabelini.net which only provide 
package lists (in this case a very USEFULL one because Stefano's lists are 
dependency tracked - thank you amigo), but actually have the PACKAGE_MIRROR 
field set differently so that the actual downloads come from a site that 
really has the packages (in this case slacware.at)

With 0.9.10c, it reads the package mirror field from the repository, and 
generates package_data with that as the mirror.
With 0.9.10d it ignores the package mirror field in the repository, and puts 
the source address into package_data instead.

I have ONLY tested this with Stefano's repository, but I can confirm these 
results on two sepperate computers (one in germany, one in SA)

Ciao
