k... now this is where you are wrong the structure should be like this : ~/archive/binary-i386/Packages.gz ~/archive/source/Sources.gz and those two files point to wherever your packages might be ( normally you'd put them in ~/archive/pool/<first-letter-package>/<package-name> ) and with your sources.list looking like : deb file:///home/ewinger archive/ deb-src file:///home/ewinger archive/ you should make sure you have run the dpkg-scanpackages/dpkg-scansources from /home/ewinger/archive -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe".
