Hm, so, do you have the files in the right place? Can you check that the
Filename: field for adduser in
/mnt/empty/dists/sarge/main/binary-i386/Packages.gz is a valid relative
path from /mnt/empty to the adduser .deb? In other words,
/mnt/empty/pool/main/a/adduser/adduser_3.53_all.deb should exist.
Also, make sure you have wget installed.
Cheers,
