Hi All,
I have a setup where I only have one machine that is able to access internet which is running ubuntu 9.10 i386.
However I need to update and install packages onto machines running the same version but on amd64.
Essentially below is what I "want" to do but not sure exactly how to go about it to get the amd64 packages etc.
1) Download the entire packages list
2) Copy this to the amd64 machine
3) Select what I need and only download what dependencies are missing
4) Copy some file back to the machine running i386
5) Download those packages
6) Copy packages across to amd64
7) Install them :)
I had a look at Keryx but can't see any option to force the architecture.
Does anybody have any ideas on the best (and preferably easy :P ) way of going about this?
Cheers
