apt-move archive isn't read by apt-get
Hi --
To keep ADSL usable during the day I have a script that runs the
following actions overnight:
/usr/bin/apt-get update &&
/usr/bin/apt-get autoclean &&
/usr/bin/apt-get -dy dist-upgrade &&
/usr/bin/apt-move update &&
/usr/bin/apt-get update
I have an apt-move.conf file with these values set:
APTSITES="/all/"
LOCALDIR=/usr/mirror/debian
DIST=testing
PKGTYPE=binary
FILECACHE=/var/cache/apt/archives
Amongst others. I then have these lines in a source file:
deb file:/usr/mirror/debian testing main
deb file:/usr/mirror/debian testing/updates main contrib non-free
So the idea is that all the updated packages download overnight - are
put into the apt-move repository (where they also get served up over
HTTP to other machines) and where I can use them locally.
This used to work - or rather this worked and then stopped working and
there may be changes in the above reflecting fiddling trying to get
things to work.
The problem is that often apt-get is still trying to download things
that are already available locally, i'll see it try to get something
from the archive - and then if I do a find on /usr/mirror i'll see
that it's already been downloaded overnight.
I'm loathe to use apt-proxy instead as I've found it to be rather
unstable in use.
