Hello,
I run kubuntu 5.10 breezy badger. I'd like to make a local repository in case I need to install in the absence of an internet connection.
I found the apt-move howto at:
https://wiki.ubuntu.com/AptMoveHowto
I followed the instructions succesfully and have a repository ready on my harddrive (I choose not to burn to cd). I've added the repository to my sources.list using adept to add the following line:
deb file:///home/username/local breezy main restricted non-free contrib
The problem:
The repo seems to mount fine in adept. But I'm missing some packages. Notably those in pool/contrib/. I also don't understand why there is a contrib folder under pool, but not under dists/breezy. I realized putting contrib in the sources.list entry was probably useless, but I tried it anyway: no luck. Even more strange: the packages in pool/non-free don't show up in adept, even though a dists/breezy/non-free exists.... I know I can install these packages by hand. No problem there. I'd just like to have it all at my command from adept....
Thanks for your time
Jeroen
