Hi list,
I've a pretty trivial question:
I've a computer without any internet access. But I want to install a
specific package which is not included on my debian CDs. So I used
"apt-get clean"
and "apt-get -d install <packagename>" to get the packages on a
machine with internet access. Thereafter I copied /var/cache/apt to
the first machine and tryed to "apt-get install" the package. This
didn't work. "apt-cache" cannot find the package, too. What's wrong?
Many thanks
Marc
If I had have a brain I had read the APT Howto Section 2.2:
http://www.debian.org/doc/manuals/apt-howto/ch-basico.en.html#s-dpkg-
scanpackages
Strangely the machine without internet access didn't have
dpkg-scanpackes.
regards
Marc
