apt-move affected by keys [was: Re: apt-move archive not being picked up by apt]

The normal order in which a sources.list is processed is the order in which the sources appear in the file (pinning being equal) - and that is what 'apt-cache policy' is picking up on. However, with the introduction of keys when priorities are equal it appears that sources with a Releases.gpg file are preferred over ones without (which is kind of logical). As apt-move doesn't generate this file - unless a pin is used to increase the priority of the created mirror it won't be used in preference to whatever it's mirrored. Incidentally, I fixed this temporarily by using: Package: * Pin: origin APT-Move Pin-Priority: 990 -- regards, chris
apt-move archive not being picked up by apt
Hi -- I have the following cron job that runs nightly : /usr/bin/apt-get update /usr/bin/apt-get autoclean /usr/bin/apt-get -dy dist-upgrade /usr/bin/apt-move update /usr/bin/apt-get update This downloads updates currently needed, and puts them into an apt-move style archive in /usr/mirror, which is then picked up like so in sources.list: deb file:/usr/mirror/debian testing main However, even if a file exists in /usr/mirror, apt-upgrade will still tryn and download it. What is going wrong? -- regards, chris

Check apt-cache policy packagename to see if your apt-move package source is listed. If it is, move it to a higher position in your sources.list and run apt-get update. best regards Andreas Janssen -- Andreas Janssen [EMAIL PROTECTED] PGP-Key-ID: 0xDC801674 ICQ #17079270 Registered Linux User #267976 http://www.andreas-janssen.de/debian-tipps-sarge.html -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of unsubscribe.
