I've downloaded a lot of files during system upgrades and would like to use them on other PCs.

How do I enable them after copying to dir /var/cache/apt/archives on the new PC?

It seems Sypnatic or System Upgrade don't see those files at all and tries to download them again.

Thanks.

sudo apt-get update always does it for me

Thank you both for this informative thread.

Wouldn't it be cool if there were a way to configure APT to communicate with local machines to look for cached packages before going to the sources?
