In the same bullet point it says: > If you have more time and want to learn more about the configuration of > distro tracker, follow the steps in the sections Setting up Distro > Tracker and Setting up the package repositories. The two links in that paragraph are relevant. What you are lacking after the failed quick-setup.sh is: - "./manage.py migrate" to create the database - "./manage.py loaddata distro_tracker/core/fixtures/debian-repositories.xml" to configure the package repositories to monitor - "./manage.py tracker_update_repositories" to scan the repositories and add packages. This is the minimum if you want to have packages available. But there are many more things that you will be lacking if you do only this. If you want everything, you should instead run "./manage.py tracker_run_all_tasks". > In my case, I have a Debian Package Tracker instance on my local machine, but > I don't know what to do with it now.

Yes, and (propose to) run the above steps instead...
