I have been trying to download and import a Debian 5.0 repository as per the instructions on this page:
https://fedorahosted.org/cobbler/wiki/DebianDeployment
I define the environment variables and execute the command as shown... First error is that cobbler states that --os-version is no longer a valid option. So I proceed by removing that option and rexecuting with the resulting following error:
[saverino@ln22ms ~]$ arch=i386
[saverino@ln22ms ~]$ dist=lenny
[saverino@ln22ms ~]$ hostname=ftp.es.debian.org
[root@ln22ms saverino]# cobbler import --name=${dist}-net --breed=debian --arch=${arch} --mirror=rsync://${hostname}/debian/dists/${dist}/main/installer-${arch}/current/images/netboot/debian-installer/${arch}

I get the same result with cobbler under Fedora 10 or Fedora 11 (all updates applied). Any advise on what may be causing the problem would be appreciated.
Many Thanks,
Mike...
