I’m trying to use apt-offline on a fresh Beagle Bone Black (rev C). I
imported the apt-offline_1.5_all.deb and installed it (using ‘sudo
dpkg -i <path>/apt-offline_1.5_all.deb’). It generates signature files
just fine, but when I try to install the packages into the apt cache
(using ‘sudo apt-offline install <path>’), I run into a series of
errors. If importing from a directory, the errors are (one for each
<package>.deb in the directory):
ERROR: I couldn’t understand file type <package>.deb.
If I try to import a single package, the error becomes:
ERROR: File <path>/<package>.deb is not a valid zip file
The Beagle Bone Black Debian Wheezy installation has tar, ar, dpkg,
apt, but not unzip, so I thought maybe this was what was missing. But
after installing unzip manually (‘dpkg -i unzip_6.0-8_armhf.deb’),
apt-offline still fails in exactly the same way. Adding a --verbose
flag sheds no light, as it merely adds this output line:
VERBOSE: Namespace(allow_unauthenticated=False, func=<function
installer at 0x4df0f0>, install=’...all.deb’, install_src_path=None,
simulate=False, skip_bug_reports=False, verbose=True)
Can you provide the full log ? From the snippet of the verbose log, it
looks like you provided it the full path to the actual deb. You are
either required to give access to the directory path containing the
debs, or give path to the .zip archive file name.
As for the unizp tool, apt-offline acts on the .zip archive using python
libraries and not the unzip binary.
