I am trying to use masquerading to upgrade debian on a laptop, via a local network. I have made /var/cache/apt/archives a soft link to a directory mounted using nfs. I have mounted it rw and have the no_root_squash option set, so there should be no problems I thought.
But when I use apt-get dis-upgrade I get the error: E: Could not open lock file /var/cache/apt/archives/lock - open (13 Permission denied) E: Unable to lock the download directory This makes no sense because I am able to read and write the lock file okay. What is wrong? Any ideas?
