I'm still having some trouble using a local repsoitory with APT. I've got 3 debs in the "home/debs" directory. I added the "debs file:///home debs/" line to my sources.list file.
However, I am getting this error when I start Synaptic, which has me puzzled: "W: Couldn't stat source packages list file: debs/ Packages (/var/apt/lists/__home_debs_Packages) - stat (2 No such file or directory)" Is APT not recogninzing the Packages.gz file that I create with dpkg-scanpackages? I have verified that the Packages.gz file is in the directory, and even uncompressed it and opened the Packages file. Do I need to leave the Packages.gz file uncompressed so APT can recognize it, or should it do the unpacking automatically? Is another problem causing my error message? Thanks, Scott Huey
