Hello,
I am preparing to install Ubuntu Desktop (AMD64) 16.04.4 onto a machine that lacks the conveniences of fast internet (data is modem speed)
I have a machine running Ubuntu Desktop 16.04 (AMD64) and have installed apt-mirror.
I have run the apt-mirror script and it created a huge directory tree across a couple hours.
I have installed nginx (I usually do Apache, but looked for an excuse to try something different), and I verified the paths are accessible to a web browser.
Satisfied with these successes, I decided to test it by modifying my /etc/apt/sources.list to localhost instead of the default domain name. I ran apt-get update and it mostly ran fine, but had a few 404 errors that I disregarded:

E: Some index files failed to download. They have been ignored, or old ones used instead.
But when I tested by installing a utility that I haven't installed yet, it wasn't found.

E: Unable to locate package bmon
When I refresh the sources.list to the default domain name and update, it is able to find the package and I'm prompted to confirm installation. So it leads me that the mirror.list file has something wrong, but I don't know what I'm missing.

What is even more odd, is that the 'package' bmon doesn't seem in exist in reality. It instead installs libconfuse-common and libconfuse0.
I seek these out if both http://localhost/ubuntu/pool/main/libc/ and http://us.archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/pool/main/libc/ and can't find this package either place, but I noticed that us.archive.ubuntu.com has files/directories present that don't exist on my mirror. For example, my mirror does not have libcue but the archive.ubuntu.com does have libcue. (Despite the /etc/apt/mirror.list using archive.ubuntu.com and /etc/apt/sources.list using us.archive.ubuntu.com, my comparison of the /ubuntu/pool/main/libc path in each location appeared identical.)
So what on earth is going on? What does apt-mirror need from me to REALLY make a mirror, not a partial mirror? I have limited time available to install Ubuntu on this remote machine and really need to make certain I can install it correctly the first time.

E: Some index files failed to download. They have been ignored, or old ones used instead.
But when I tested by installing a utility that I haven't installed yet, it wasn't found.
# apt-get install bmon

E: Unable to locate package bmon
When I refresh the sources.list to the default domain name and update, it is able to find the package and I'm prompted to confirm installation. So it leads me that the mirror.list file has something wrong, but I don't know what I'm missing.

What is even more odd, is that the 'package' bmon doesn't seem in exist in reality. It instead installs libconfuse-common and libconfuse0.
I seek these out if both http://localhost/ubuntu/pool/main/libc/ and http://us.archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/pool/main/libc/ and can't find this package either place, but I noticed that us.archive.ubuntu.com has files/directories present that don't exist on my mirror. For example, my mirror does not have libcue but the archive.ubuntu.com does have libcue. (Despite the /etc/apt/mirror.list using archive.ubuntu.com and /etc/apt/sources.list using us.archive.ubuntu.com, my comparison of the /ubuntu/pool/main/libc path in each location appeared identical.)
So what on earth is going on? What does apt-mirror need from me to REALLY make a mirror, not a partial mirror? I have limited time available to install Ubuntu on this remote machine and really need to make certain I can install it correctly the first time.
