Hello, I'm wondering if it is possible to build the Packages-file that tells apt about packages in a directory-tree, on my own. What I mean is: you have some unofficial .deps and want to use "apt-get install one_package" so dependencies are solved by apt. I think it is necessary that there is an Packages and Packages.gz so apt can create cache entries for this unofficial packages, like the Packages/Packages.gz contained in the distribution tree, e.g. /ftp/pub/debian/2.2r0/bin_1/dists/potato/main/binary-i386/Packages{.gz}.
The content of these files is similar to output of dpkg -f a_dep_pkg.dep, but there are some entries missing. Thanks, Frank Grimm. -- Frank Grimm | [EMAIL PROTECTED]
