This could work, but only if you follow the *complete* structure of a repository, which must include Release and Release.gpg files with the correct checksums and signatures, etc. Otherwise approx won't consider the Packages files to be valid. > [Vv] As you suggest I put file:///packages/ to approx.conf, but approx cannot > find packages still. I think this is the same problem (lack of Release files etc.) but I can't be sure without seeing the debug log from approx. > [Vv] As the debian version is 8.3, Jessie, on which the stable version of > approx. is 5.5-1, apt-get installed this version for Jessie.

You can download the .deb (from http://ftp.us.debian.org/debian/pool/main/a/approx/approx_5.7-3_amd64.deb for example, or any other Debian mirror), and install it with "dpkg -i". It does not have any dependencies not in jessie, so it should install OK. -- Eric Cooper e c c @ c m u . e d u
