Re: add-packagesource-continued
This time, I cannot even reply to the original post in https://trisquel.info/forum/add-packagesource-continued-0
@Gottfried: did you send it through the website or the mailing list?
Gottfried wrote about that error when he executed a command I gave him:
apt-offline get /tmp/install.sig --bundle /tmp/combined.zip
error: File /tmp/install.sig not present. Check path.
My bad: I forgot to replace one occurrence of "install" with "combined". Here is what to execute after moving combined.sig to /tmp on the online system:
$ apt-offline get /tmp/combined.sig --bundle /tmp/combined.zip
Here are complete corrected instructions, with no file install.*:
- On the offline system, execute in a terminal:
$ sudo apt-offline set /tmp/combined.sig --update --upgrade --install-packages mc emacs gimp
- Move /tmp/combined.sig to the same location on the online system, through your USB stick and execute there in a terminal:
$ apt-offline get /tmp/combined.sig --bundle /tmp/combined.zip
- Move /tmp/combined.zip to the same location on the offline system, through your USB stick and execute there in a terminal:
$ sudo apt-offline install /tmp/combined.zip
thanks very much
I am trying to reply on the website
the last times I replied through email to the trisquel user email address.
thanks magic banana
I tried this with the package: okular
and it seemed everything was working
but after finishing
the package okular was not installed.
it seems there is still a problem somewhere.
May be it didn´t fetch all dependencies and that´s why it failed.
Then there would be the same problem as in synaptic, it does not fetch all dependencies.
That would mean apt-offline fails...
