Virtual repository not working via http

[Charon]

I have a bazaar server up and running. The server contains many repositories, which I would like to browse with the explorer.
If I open an URL of the server where the repositories are located, I get the message:

bzr+https://eiche/bzr ist kein Branch, kein Checkout oder kein Repository.

Do you want to open it as a virtual repository, searching for nested locations?

I say yes, and the next message is:

Unable to change to /home/charon/some_more_paths/bzr+https:/eiche/bzr - closing page.

However, before this message, the location is searched for correctly, I can see the repositories in the GUI already.
When I acknowledge the error message, the repositories are gone..

So it seems, the explorer is mixing local paths with URLs which is a bug IMHO.

I just hat a quick look into the source code. It seems, that the flag whether the location is local or not is just set in case of a branch or a repository (location.py, function reopen_location).
The if...elif... construct should be extended to:

if branch:

elif repository:

else: # or check for whatever variable tells about a virtual directory
    self._local = self._root.startswith("file://")

OK, that's not the solution. How can I write debug messages to the log file or to the console?

I have an almost identical problem, except I'm using a repository url starting bzr+ssh rather than bzr+https. Same failure mode, an error saying it can't change to /home/meta/bzr+ssh:/servername/srv/bzr.

bzr explorer 1.1.0 on Kubuntu 10.10.

@Charon: to write debug message you need the following code:

at the beginning of the module add import:

from bzrlib.trace import mutter

and then in the code you want to trace:

mutter("your debug message here")

It will go to .bzr.log only.
