What I did was I followed Ritchie Young's suggestion to make the apt- proxy-import work at least once (logged in as root):
# cd /var/cache/apt-proxy # find . -name Packages.bz2 -exec bunzip2 -f {} \; Then I edited my /etc/apt/sources.list to include: deb http://localhost:9999/ubuntu hardy main restricted universe multiverse deb http://localhost:9999/ubuntu hardy-updates main restricted universe multiverse deb http://localhost:9999/ubuntu hardy-security main restricted universe multiverse I believe that by doing this, every update/upgrade/dist-upgrade that the server does would get included in the proxy cache automatically instead of going into /var/cache/apt/archives directory. Correct me if my idea is wrong. Thank you. :) -- apt-proxy-import says "no suitable backend found" https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/4844 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is a direct subscriber. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
