OK, I would advise two things. Firstly, /etc/apt/sources.list should contain this instead of the last line: deb file:/storage/debs ./ Secondly, generate the Packages.gz file like this: cd /storage/debs dpkg-scanpackages . /dev/null > Packages gzip Packages This way, the path in the last component of the sources.list line and the Filename: lines in Packages.gz will agree, and all should be well after you update.
