I downloaded the latest openoffice.org2 tarball from
ftp.linux.cz/pub/localization/OpenOffice.org/devel/680/
into /local_debs/ on my hard drive. Untarring the tarball gave me a
directory full of .deb files.
I then did:
apt-ftparchive packages /local_debs/ | gzip Packages.gz
I examined Packages.gz, and saw that the debs were all *correctly*
described as being located at /local_debs/openofficeorg-... I left
Packages.gz inside /local_debs/.
I added a new line to /etc/apt/sources.list which reads
deb file:/local_debs/ ./
I then did
apt-get update && apt-get upgrade openoffice.org.
The update worked just fine. However, the upgrade command generates
multiple error messages, all starting with:
Failed to fetch file: /local_debs//local_debs/openofficeorg-...
Obviously the line I added to /etc/apt/sources.list isn't quite
kosher. Suggestions, please!
