No, you are perfect :)

Oops, you are right: my software version is 0.5.1 (Debian 0.5.1-3). I see.

I seem that is something I tried *before* , with something like this:

   Remap-fufy: /var/cache/reprepro/ /fufy

with no success but, now I see, it could be because of my ACNG version
(I see no LocalDirs option available in my version) so I will try to
upgrade ACNG, first.

Thank you very much for your answer Eduard, and for ACNG :-)

I'll be back :-)
