Ubuntu 16.04 apt-get update fails with local repository
Solution 1:
-
As I remember, when I have setup my trivial local repository. I used this form
##LOCAL deb file:///path-to-parent-of-packages-folder packages-folder/ ##LAN using HTTP server deb http://ip-address packages-folder/ ##LAN using HTTP server & mDNS (Avahi) deb http://machine-name.local packages-folder/
-
Hence your setup should be with this line:
deb [arch=amd64 trusted=yes] file:///home/discoprodigy debbin/
or
deb [arch=amd64 trusted=yes] file:///home/discoprodigy/debbin ./
