Re: debian live with local repo problem

Hi Rob!
Thanks! I will try the apt-cacher-ng way as soon as I can and possibly not in a chroot as I was doing. I'm working just with lenny, so, at least, I shouldn't get the troubles you mention about multiple distros.

I'm not sure why you're getting those errors, but I'd recommend using apt-cacher-ng instead of apt-cacher.  Apt-cacher has trouble if you use it with multiple distros that have
the same name for *different* packages.  For example, using it with both Debian and Ubuntu will cause you headaches.
