I maintain my own small repository at a remote site and mirror it on my local 
machine.  It contains, for each architecture, setup.ini, setup.xz, and 
setup.xz.sig.  Installation from the remote site works fine.  If I try to 
install from my local mirror, setup complains that it can't find setup.ini.sig. 
  I can install from the local mirror only if I add setup.ini.sig.
