Re: debian live with local repo problem

Hi Kousik Maiti

First of all thanks! 
Then, I'm sorry but do not understand why I have
to do that. I mean, I'using lh_config and lh_build and the only things
that change in this procedure is the path to repository.
I normally use for lh_config option --mirror-xxx , when using official repo:
http://ftp.fr.debian.org/debian
while 
file:///root/apt-mirrors/debian
when using the official DVD mounted on /root/apt-mirrors
Note that I do not use the real media, rather I use the hd iso file
obtained using the dd utility and then loop back mounting it to that
path.
What I do not understand is, in particular, when I should do the update you mention; I suppose you mean I have to use the intermediate scripts and, at a certain point do that apt-get update, isn't it? The procedure stops while performing the debootstrap stage so I do not understand to which source.list I have to add those repo.

Below, I add more log lines:

Add repository to sources.list
Extract iso to desktop

Copy Desktop/debian/dists/lenny/main/binary-i386/Packages and Desktop/debian/dists/lenny/main/binary-i386/Packages.gz to Desktop/debian/ folder

Then change the repository list. Add the following line :-

deb file:///home/username/Desktop/debian/ lenny main

Then run apt-get update

Hi All !

I'm trying to build a live cd using a local i386 lenny repo. I need a local repository for the job I'm developing. This repo is either a local one created with debmirror or the official first DVD.
While using any of the official mirror on the internet everything works perfectly and i get my bootable iso image, using the local repos I get the following error:
...

... Done !


Please note that the first supposed not existing file

/root/apt-mirrors/debian/dists/lenny/main/binary-i386/Package

actually does exist with that very same path.

The repo I pass to lh_config is:

file:///root/apt-mirrors/debian/

for all the repos.

Any help is appreciated !

Thanks in advance!
