I've tried using debmirror and it seems to fail because there's a file missing on the debian-security repository. So I get a error using apt update afterward. I'll make a copy with debmirror and write the exact error message. I'm thinking maybe aptly would be the best way. I simply want to have a local copy of the security updates so I can install machine really fast with some limited bandwidth. And I can't use apt-cache because I want this to be on a hard disk and independant of the network. I am not running a hospital, a defense installation, a nuclear installation or a chemical warfare plant so all the things about "having a risk someone would corrupt my debian-security update server" is a big too much. The same risk would apply to the normal repository (that I already make local copy). > Cheers > > [1] https://manpages.debian.org/testing/debmirror/debmirror.1.en.html > > - t > -- Polyna-Maude R.-Summerside -Be smart, Be wise, Support opensource development
