[Kai Harries]

Package: simple-cdd
Version: 0.5.0
Severity: normal
Tags: upstream patch

Dear Maintainer,

   * What led up to the situation?
$ cat simple-cdd.conf
server="ftp.de.debian.org"
debian_mirror="http://$server/debian/"
wget_debian_mirror="ftp://$server/debian/"
rsync_debian_mirror="$server::debian"

$ simple-cdd --conf ./simple-cdd.conf --dist squeeze

   * What was the outcome of this action?
simple-cdd aborts with an error:
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Checking checksum file... dists/squeeze/main/installer-
amd64/current/images/SHA256SUMS
sha256sum: standard input: no properly formatted SHA256 checksum lines found
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

   * What outcome did you expect instead?
An image of a squeeze installer.

If I apply the following changes to simple-cdd:
