When a bug tracker is inside the exclusive walled-gardens of MS Github or Gitlab.com, and you cannot or will not enter, where do you file your bug report? Here, of course. This is a refuge where you can report bugs that are otherwise unreportable due to technical or ethical constraints.

⚠of course there are no guarantees it will be seen by anyone relevant. Hopefully some kind souls will volunteer to proxy the reports.

Possible defect in Debian’s jigdo downloader. The docs and tool give conflicting info on whether crash recovery is possible, and how to do so. ~~Data loss possible!~~ (lemmy.sdf.org)

This page says:

6.6. What do I do if my jigdo download gets interrupted? If your download gets interrupted, all you need to do is restart jigdo-lite and hit ENTER at all the question prompts. Jigdo-lite will pick up where it left off.

But when I re-run jigdo, it says:

The temporary directory `./debian-13.2.0-amd64-BD-1.iso.tmpdir' already exists. Its contents ARE GOING TO BE DELETED (possibly after having been copied to the image, if they are of interest for it). If you do not want this to happen, press Ctrl-C now. Otherwise, press Return to proceed.

So which is lying, the tool or the docs?

update

I just realised it was a problem of poorly written text and sloppy reading. I mentally skipped what was in parathesis, which was important.

Strange that it would build a partial image before continuing.

I would say there’s still a minor bug here, just in the bad under-emphasised wording.
