Re: debian live with local repo problem
Hi Rob! Thanks! I will try the apt-cacher-ng way as soon as I can and possibly not in a chroot as I was doing. I'm working just with lenny, so, at least, I shouldn't get the troubles you mention about multiple distros.

Apt-cacher has trouble if you use it with multiple distros that have the same name for *different* packages. For example, using it with both Debian and Ubuntu will cause you headaches. -Rob -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-user-requ...@lists.debian.org with a subject of unsubscribe. Trouble?

I'm running all the whole as root (of course), no sudo, but in a chroot env. First of all, I need cached packages only when building up the live system. Secondly the fact that I would like to set up a Lenny mirror is that I need complete control on the packages that go in my live cd. So, I thought that the official DVD were the best choice as mirror. Then again, I need to keep my appl source in my vcs, so when getting them to build my whole live system from scratch I guess it is simpler using a real mirror site, although that being a dvd or, best, its iso image (dd copied and) loop back mounted.

debian live with local repo problem
Hi All ! I'm trying to build a live cd using a local i386 lenny repo. I need a local repository for the job I'm developing. This repo is either a local one created with debmirror or the official first DVD. While using any of the official mirror on the internet everything works perfectly and i get my bootable iso image, using the local repos I get the following error: ... gpg: /root/.gnupg/trustdb.gpg: trustdb created OK Reading package lists... Done Building dependency tree...

P: Begin unmounting filesystems... ... Done ! Please note that the first supposed not existing file /root/apt-mirrors/debian/dists/lenny/main/binary-i386/Package actually does exist with that very same path. The repo I pass to lh_config is: file:///root/apt-mirrors/debian/ for all the repos. Any help is appreciated ! Thanks in advance! Emanuele

Re: debian live with local repo problem
Hi Kousik Maiti First of all thanks! Then, I'm sorry but do not understand why I have to do that. I mean, I'using lh_config and lh_build and the only things that change in this procedure is the path to repository. I normally use for lh_config option --mirror-xxx , when using official repo: http://ftp.fr.debian.org/debian while file:///root/apt-mirrors/debian when using the official DVD mounted on /root/apt-mirrors Note that I do not use the real media, rather I use the hd iso file obtained using the dd utility and then loop back mounting it to that path. What I do not understand is, in particular, when I should do the update you mention; I suppose you mean I have to use the intermediate scripts and, at a certain point do that apt-get update, isn't it? The procedure stops while performing the debootstrap stage so I do not understand to which source.list I have to add those repo. Below, I add more log lines: P: Running debootstrap...
