Eric: This is really very simple.I think part of the problem, is that the original problem got lost. I'll snip your comments, because I believe I understand and correctly have implemented what you talked about. The problem is that for some reason, I can't install the package in my repository and I get this message:
[EMAIL PROTECTED]:/etc/apt# apt-get update Ign file: archive/ Release Ign file: archive/ Release Reading Package Lists... Done Building Dependency Tree... Done
[EMAIL PROTECTED]:/etc/apt# apt-get install spinelli Reading Package Lists... Done Building Dependency Tree... Done Package spinelli has no available version, but exists in the database. This typically means that the package was mentioned in a dependency and never uploaded, has been obsoleted or is not available with the contents of sources.list E: Package spinelli has no installation candidate
And to make a long story short, I've built all kinds of different package structures to match those given as examples. Nothing fixes this problem. I created the Packages.gz file with apt-ftparchive packages <dir>. The Packages.gz correctly points at the .deb file, but for some reason I can't load it.
I've verified that the package isn't already loaded using apt-get remove.
I don't care about any source, so I've tried eliminating Sources.gz & any .dsc & tarballs - leaving nothing but Packages.gz & a .deb file.
I've set the source file to point at the correct archive.
[EMAIL PROTECTED]:~/archive$ ls Packages.gz Sources.gz binary-i386 source
sources.list looks like: deb file:///home/ewinger archive/ deb-src file:///home/ewinger archive/
That's where I'm at... so I've covered the arch issue with i386. It seems like I should be able to install my little test package. Maybe that clarifies the problem better. I hope. thx much.
Eric
