I found this too. But, there are no example files where the
man page says there should be. I also couldn't figure out
where to put an apt.conf file (or part thereof) since there
isn't one already to add to. And I wasn't sure whether I
could put two locations in, or just redefine the exisiting
one.
If I can get an additional line in sources.list to work,
that is actually what I want, I think. Then it will copy
the deb into the local /sw/var/cache/apt/archives dir, and
my disk will be a more complete copy of my TiBook...
