Hello, ... I have a local mirror of the debian ftp archive on my syjet cartdridge. I tried upgrading a slink system to potato with apt, but :
I mount my (i386) archive on /syjet, and have the following line in /etc/ap/sources.list : deb file:/syjet/debian unstable main. but apt-get (version of potato, as of last sunday) complains : apt-get update Err : /syjet/debian unstable/main Packages some stuff about local archive should not begin with // Why is that ? On my ppc system, i have used apt-get all the time with a similar apt line (the same i think), and didn't encounter this problem. I installed an apache web server, and used a line like : deb http://localhost/~my_login/debian ... And it worked fine (but the scsi driver got unhappy, so ...) BTW, what is the best list to ask about scsi drivers, i have a tekram 310 card, and the ncr53c8xx driver of kernel 2.1.1 complained a lot, and broke my file system, while try with the symbios 53c8xx friver of 2.2.10 kernel. Please respond to me directly, i am not subscribed to debian-user ... Friendly, Sven LUTHER
