Does anybody know why aptoncd rejects all
TDE-Trinity packages? I am
running Devuan Jessie (or sometimes, Debian Jessie ...).
What do you mean by "reject"? What error message do you get?
By the way, aptoncd has been removed from Debian, see:
https://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=885946
aptoncd -- RoQA; unmaintained; not in testing for 2.5 years
Huh ... I downloaded it from the Debian Jessie repositories. I will look into
it. I need some kind of solution like it, so that I can install when I don't
have Internet access.
The Website says "Status: Pre-Alpha" and
"This project has no files."
See: https://sourceforge.net/projects/aptoncd/files/
The latest news on http://aptoncd.sourceforge.net/ are from: 2007.03.14
This tool seems to be unmaintained and not developed since many years. It's
probably broken, I think.
Kind regards,
Stefan
Actually, my ideal solution would be to use flash drives as my personal
repositories. (That way, I don't keep wasting DVDs and CDs.) Somehow or
other, I got that trick working with Kubuntu Hardy many years. I just set up
the address of the drive with the prefix "deb" or "deb-src" and it
worked;
but now I can't get it going.
I downloaded the DVD images of Debian packages, but apt will not recognize
them when I try to add them as sources.
