I have the Debian slink CD's, and I have a mirror of non-free on a local
partition. However, I cannot get Apt to recognize the non-free mirror.
Whatever line I put in sources.list, when I run apt-get update, it gives me the
error message "local URIS must not start with //" I've tried using
deb file:/<path> ...
as well as
deb file:<path> ...
but neither of these does anything good.
Assuming that Packages.gz maybe was causing a problem, I ran dpkg-scanpackages,
but this didn't help either.
I tried moving Packages.gz to /Debian after that, but this also didn't help.
Here is the latest message from apt-get updates:
Err file:Debian/ stable/non-free Packages
Invalid URI, local URIS must not start with //
Ign file:Debian/ stable/non-free Release
Reading Package Lists... Done
Building Dependency Tree... Done
W: Couldn't stat source package list 'file:Debian/ stable/non-free Packages'
(/var/state/apt/lists/Debian_dists_stable_non-free_binary-i386_Packages) - stat
(2
No such file or directory)
W: You may want to run apt-get update to correct these missing files
Can anyone point out the error of my ways?
