hmm, i'm having a similar problem, but related to the update install. here's
the thing:
i have an HFS hard drive that i've downloaded stuff from the FTP mirror, and
i've mirrored it on the drive. now, i can mount it, and i can cd thru the
directories, but when i do dselect, it can't find the s/w, and i get errors.
i've configured the mtab, fstab, and apt things, and i still can't dselect.
i'm NOT on a network, and i've managed to install a few things thru dpkg,
accessing that HFS partitioned drive, including some pppoe s/w needed to
access the net thru this comp. but as u know, thru dpkg, it's a long
process, and i'm a newbie (on my 3rd day :-)), and i have to keep track of
the dependencies, conflicts, and so on by hand. which is confusing the hell
out of me.
i'm getting really frustrated with this.
ok, what i did (thru apt-setup - which btw, isn't being found anymore. (???)
i think it got deleted, but i haven't done any deletions of files. i don't
know how to yet) was this:
in /etc/apt/sources.list, i have : deb file:/mnt/debian
and i've tried various things like file:/mnt, file:/debian,
file:/mnt/whatever. u get the idea.
in blank fstab i have : /dev/sdb6 hfs 0 0
what the f0x am i doing wrong, and how do i fix it?
