Hi, I have bunch of updates mirrored on my local workstation. I have configured apt to read files from local dirs and then run "aptate". Here is what i've got: aptate --update-rpms Read mirror file: "/etc/apt/mirrorlist.SuSE-8.0-i386" Note: it is not necessary to run aptate as root Action: link - suse-main -> Bin: MD5/GPG: 150/150 -> Src: MD5/GPG: 2/2 Action: link - security -> Bin: MD5/GPG: 46/46 -> Src: MD5/GPG: 0/0 suse-main: pkglist 0x805af90:stat: No such file or directory Error executing genpkglist. Could not create the APT repitory succesfully This might be due to a bad cache for the apt component, that is mentioned in the error report. A possible fix is to remove the cache for suspected APT component. The cache can be found at: /home/ftp/mirrors/dist/suse-8.0/apt/cache/SuSE-8.0-i386 However, cleaning cache does not help at all. Any suggestions would be gratly appreciated. Thanks in advance. Andrei PS. If someone would e-mail me apt4rpm configs for his repository it would be great.
