Finally got apt-mirror to work. I got the entire i386 site at ftp.fi.debian.org mirrored on a USB drive. Now I am trying to do a simple local apt-get on a test machine.
My mirror is located at /mnt/debmirror/ which has the mirror, skel, and var subdirs in it. I made a very simple sources.list file just for test, copied from the Man page and changed to match my path. like so... deb file:/mnt/debmirror/mirror/ftp.fi.debian.org/debian stable main contrib non-free deb file:/mnt/debmirror/mirror/ftp.fi.debian.org/debian unstable main contrib non-free deb-src file:/mnt/debmirror/mirror/ftp.fi.debian.org/debian unstable main contrib non-free When I run apt-get update to build my indexes I get the following errors in part... *************************** [EMAIL PROTECTED]:~# apt-get update Err file: stable/main Packages File not found Ign file: stable/main Release (snip) Failed to fetch file:/mnt/debmirror/mirror/ftp.fi.debian.org/debian/dists/stable/main/binary-i386/Packages.gz File not found (snip) Reading Package Lists... Done W: Couldn't stat source package list file: stable/main Packages (/var/lib/apt/lists/_mnt_debmirror_mirror_ftp.fi.debian.org_debian_dists_stable_main_binary-i386_Packages) - stat (2 No such file or directory) (snip) ************************** What it appears to be looking for is this... /mnt/debmirror/mirror/ftp.fi.debian.org/debian/dists/stable/main/binary-i386/Packages.gz The actual path is this... /mnt/debmirror/mirror/ftp.fi.debian.org/debian/dists/woody/main/binary-i386/Packages.gz It looks like something isn't translating "stable" into "woody" I assume that my sources.list file is wrong but so far haven't managed to fix it. Anybody see what is wrong? Thanks krf
