Jigdo error: template file does not exist

[PROBLEM]
I downloaded a .jigdo file for the current Debian release. Then I ran "jigdo-lite <jigdo-file>" and got the following error:

File `debian-6.0.2.1-i386-DVD-1.template' does not exist!

[SOLUTION]
Point "jigdo-lite" directly at the download URL of the .jigdo file. Like this:

Code: Select all

jigdo-lite http://cdimage.debian.org/debian-cd/current/i386/jigdo-dvd/debian-6.0.2.1-i386-DVD-1.jigdo

Then it automatically finds the .template file on that server and downloads it.

NOTE: I think it's also possible to download the .template file that lies next to the .jigdo file on the original download site. But I haven't tried that.
