I think this would rather look like:

smart channel --add debian type=apt-deb baseurl="http:// 
ftp.debian.org/debian/" distribution="stable" components="main"

"dists" is implied, and the arch too.


I agree there should be some Smart samples,
so I tried adding a contrib/channels dir...

I believe "real debian" (or ubuntu, perhaps)
uses the apt-sync plugin to add the channels ?

Did you also do a "smart update debian" ?

Well, your pathlocks seem to be broken... ;-)
