Other than copying deb files you are supposed to copy the repository info - without this apt will not know about the latest version of packages and may try to download the version available in it's repository. I have created an application that does this job. You can visit https://launchpad.net/share-ubuntu-updates to get more info. The code provides the necessary info. It's a simple Qt application that does the job for you. Hope this helps, PrasannaKumar Muralidharan _______________________________________________ ILUGC Mailing List: http://www.ae.iitm.ac.in/mailman/listinfo/ilugc
