Hi all, I'm trying to update the packages using APT. but it is not updating even there are packages to update.
For testing out this iam using my local network. The entry in sources.list file in the client machine is -- # # deb http://aptserver/debs New/ # # -- the machine aptserver contains the packages in New/ directory. the command #apt-get update works fine, it fetches the packages information and stores it in /var/state/apt/lists/aptserver_debs_New_packages then the command #apt-get update says that Reading Package Lists... Building Dependency Tree... 0 packages upgraded, 0 newly installed, 0 to remove and 0 not upgraded. but the command #apt-get install packageX fetches the packageX from the server & installs it without any problem. the problem iam not able to update my packages automatically by giving the command #apt-get update (or) #apt-get dist-update what may be the problem. If anyone who knows the solution for this & ready to reply for this mail or to point an obvious mistake, then that would be great. Thanks, arunachalam.
