Hi group, having some problems with a local package repository I tried to set up. So, I copied my locally created debs to a directory, ran dpkg-scanpackages (didn't use overridefile) and added this directory to my sources.list. Yes, it all works, except for the following annoying problem...
If I run apt-get install foo --simulate, I see that apt wants to install the woody version of package foo, and not the version from my local repository. If I run apt-get install foo -t bar --simulate, it all works fine. Of course, 'bar' is not a valid component, but that doesn't matter to apt. I configured apt to only pull packages from stable, but I configured my local repository as stable main. I tried to copy a Release file from /var/lib/apt/lists/ftp.<snip>.Release. The file is read by apt-get update and copied to /var/lib/apt/lists, but that doesn't help. I also removed --simulate to make sure that the package could be installed. It works (if I add a '-t whatever' to apt-get...) Anyone seen this before? If not, anyone using local package repositories and if so, how did you set it up? TIA, David /etc/apt/sources.list: deb file:/home/dfokkema/deb-archive/ stable main deb http://security.debian.org/ stable/updates main deb ftp://ftp.nl.debian.org/debian/ stable main Packages are in /home/dfokkema/deb-archive/dists/stable/main/binary-i386 -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe".
