Description (last modified by )
Following the instructions on
http://winswitch.org/downloads/debian-repository.html?dist_select=oneiric
I get this error:
W: Failed to fetch http://winswitch.org/dists/dists/oneiric/main/binary-i386/Packages 404 Not Found E: Some index files failed to download. They have been ignored, or old ones used instead.
I think 'dists' is appearing somewhere it shouldn't (see the dists/dists) above.

I've just tried here in a virtual machine and I cannot reproduce your problem.
There is no '
dists
' in the repository path, the Release file is relative (still no 'dists' in it), and the packages referred to in thePackages
file are relative to the repository path.Here's an example: http://us.archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/dists/oneiric/main/binary-i386/ where the packages are in
pool
which is relative to the repository root http://us.archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/.In any case, I've added a symlink from
dists/dists
todists/.
which should solve your problem, although it would be good to know the real cause of it...
