dfsbuild - Building a CD

[Megatron]

Heya!

I've been trying to Build a CD from my Deb installation.. but everytime I run dfsbuild, it simply outputs this error:

*SNIP*

[dfs/INFO] Mirroring process starting.

dfsbuild: user error (Command cdebootstrap ["--debug","-v","-d","testing","/Andre/IDWLive/target","http://http.us.debian.org/debian"] failed; exit code 1)

Does anyone have any idea of what may be causing this?

Thanks in advance!

You must change your repo to other repo.Because it has problem with lenny repo.it can see until etch.

[Megatron]

I used another repo.. that has lenny / testing.

The output is:

D: Reinit suite lenny
E: Unknown suite lenny
[MissingH.Cmd.posixRawSystem/DEBUG] cdebootstrap: exited with Exited (ExitFailure 1)
[MissingH.Cmd.safeSystem/WARNING] Command cdebootstrap ["--debug","-v","-d","testing","/TestingCD/target","ftp://debian.ua.pt/debian"] failed; exit code 1

dfsbuild: user error (Command cdebootstrap ["--debug","-v","-d","testing","/TestingCD/target","ftp://debian.ua.pt/debian"] failed; exit code 1)

Exactly the same thing. -_-

Everything is there and in it's correct places, as you can see here: ftp://debian.ua.pt/debian/dists/

Any other idea ?

Everything was going according as planned.. until:
