Hrmm.. just to add to the confusion. I just checked my sources.list and saw I was using single slash. I did man sources.list to see if I was going out of my mind.

I just checked your apt-move.conf again and noticed a couple of problems: ARCHS="alpha arm hurd-i386 i386 m68k powerpc sparc" Do you really have all these installed ;-) DIST=potato This should be testing. At least, that's what your sources.list points to. They need to be the same. However... > Things are fine now; apt-get and dselect see the package files in my > local mirror.
