Package: apt-offline
Version: 1.5
I'm trying to use apt-offline on a fresh Beagle Bone Black (rev C). I imported
the apt-offline_1.5_all.deb and installed it (using 'sudo dpkg -i
<path>/apt-offline_1.5_all.deb'). It generates signature files just fine, but
when I try to install the packages into the apt cache (using 'sudo apt-offline
install <path>'), I run into a series of errors. If importing from a directory,
the errors are (one for each <package>.deb in the directory):
ERROR: I couldn't understand file type <package>.deb.
If I try to import a single package, the error becomes:
ERROR: File <path>/<package>.deb is not a valid zip file
The Beagle Bone Black Debian Wheezy installation has tar, ar, dpkg, apt, but
not unzip, so I thought maybe this was what was missing. But after installing
unzip manually ('dpkg -i unzip_6.0-8_armhf.deb'), apt-offline still fails in
exactly the same way. Adding a --verbose flag sheds no light, as it merely adds
this output line:
VERBOSE: Namespace(allow_unauthenticated=False, func=<function installer at
0x4df0f0>, install='...all.deb', install_src_path=None, simulate=False,
skip_bug_reports=False, verbose=True)
