I have created some .deb files for use in our department, they customise our debian installs and allow us to automatically update files on our machines through apt-get upgrade.
I have these files on our departmental ftp server, under a debian mirror-like directory stucture, where our homebrew debs are under stable/contrib/binary-i386. The Packages.gz file and Release file are present, the site is in the sources.list file correctly, and apt-get is able to install, update, upgrade, etc with no problems. My problem is this - I have a task packages which insures all the packages we need locally are installed, and I want to use dselect during installation of a system to simply select this task and go. I add our local ftp site to sources.list, but when I do an update in dselect, I get the following: Building Dependency Tree... Done Merging Available information E: read, still have 1 to read but none left update available list script returned error exit status 100. The relevant output for my local archive is: Hit ftp://ftp.my.host.edu potato/ece Packages Hit ftp://ftp.my.host.edu potato/ece Release It doesn't say anything else. When I go to select after this, none of my local packages show up, and none of the packages from the main mirror I use show up - just the installed base system files are listed. This also happens running dselect on already installed machines. Can anyone tell me what I may have done wrong? Thanks all...
