Public bug reported:
apt-get Install ignores packages restored to Cache by an outside
application or moved there manually.
As a means to install a suite of packages that are not included with the
default Ubuntu installation, and to do so with out having to download
them for each machine I install them on. I created an aptoncd ISO image
that I'm allows me to restore this suite of packages to
“/var/cache/apt/archives” folder.
I also have a very long apt-get install command that tells apt-get to
install each of these packages:
sudo apt-get install amarok aptoncd ardour audacity avidemux azureus

Each of this packages have been placed in the cache folder by aptoncd's
restore from ISO feature, but when I run the apt-get install command
above, the cached packages are completely ignore, and apt-get re-
download them.
Is there an override command that will make apt-get install favor the
packages I've placed in cache, so that it will use them from there
rather than downloading identical packages from the repositories?
If there isn't, there should be. And that is the purpose of this bug
report. Forgive me if I've overlooking the proper use of the --no-
downloads parameter. I thought that would do it, and tried that, but it
didn't work for me.
