Hi,

I got Debian DVD Etch src iso files which I'd like loop-mount and use
as my repo sources for apt-mirror to use. This is so that I don't have
to start from scratch downloading all those files before proceeding on
to using network sources. Unfortunately I get this problem:

"""

0.0 bytes in 0 files and 0 directories can be freed.
Run /var/spool/apt-mirror/var/clean.sh for this purpose.

Is it because apt-mirror can't accept non-network repos as source
repos since, in my case, it doesn't place them into
"/data/apt-mirror/mirror/" as I asked in the attached config file?
